thanks, i originally misread this -
Leviticus 12:3-4
And on the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised. She shall then continue in the blood of [her] purification thirty-three days. She shall not touch any hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary until the days of her purification are fulfilled.
It makes sense the 33 days starts on the 8th day, so a total of 40 days from birth to Luke 2
my bad
And cool, the Catholic Church and the scripture corroborate the wiki entry so maybe i wasn't stupid for citing it after all haha

at a certain point in maths education we stop using numbers altogether and focus on abstract concepts.
part of being a mathematician however is seeking truth ((a beautiful pursuit)) and a fundamental aspect of that is accepting graciously when you are proven wrong.
i often do simple calculations incorrectly. OK my 'often' may be different than yours. 'often' is a relative term.
but this doesn't make me a bad mathematician; it makes me a bad calculator.
We are not called as Christians to be calculators but to be wise - and the wise man is the first to admit he knows nothing. the wise never say they know all things; they say they need to learn all things.
i hope this is meaningful..
much love
