−	~~All numbers used in the [[Bible]] are [[positive]] [[integers]], for example~~, ~~20 loaves of bread~~, ~~4 horsemen of the apocalypse~~, ~~50 ways to leave your lover~~. ~~By inference~~, all such numbers are referred to as "natural". Other other numbers are equated with progressive degrees of unnaturalness. The [[negative]] numbers are commonly associated with basic [[evil]]. The [[CIA]] uses negative numbers to denominate the ranks of terrorist groups, -1 is an ordinary member, -2 is a squadron leader, etc. This is because there is no [[lower bound]] to the negative numbers and thus no limit need be imposed on their evil[https://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/gz.html]. The [[rational]] numbers are the next most unnatural numbers. Rationality runs directly counter to naturalness, see [[evolution]] vs [[creationism]], [[Einstein]] vs [[Newton]]. [[Irrational]] numbers are the first numbers that cannot be formed from [[arithmetic]] operations of natural numbers and thus are the first [[unbiblical]] numbers[http://americansfortruth.com/news/report-highlights-unbiblical-beliefs-of-obama-and-his-pastor.html]. [[Complex numbers]] are the most unnatural numbers. Recent research has suggested a link between [[homosexuality]] and complex-valued genetic base-pairs[http://www.narth.com/docs/lefthand.html].
