What's the
point, Euclid?
Adapted for the Internet from:

Why God Doesn't Exist
    Summary

    The point is the simplest architecture in Geometry and has been around for thousands of years. That's why it
    is absolutely beyond comprehension when a mathematician confesses that he has no idea what a point is.
    Every mathematical physicist repeats the mantra that he has been taught by rote in college: the word point is
    ultimately undefinable and should remain primitive (i.e., undefined). Otherwise, the argument goes, we would
    wind up with circular definitions.

    Actually, the reverse is true. The contemporary mathematician engages in endless discussions and has failed
    to establish solid geometric foundations because he either can't or refuses to define his key terminology. It is
    not that we don't know what a point is. The problem is that the mathematicians attempt to use several
    definitions during their dissertations. This is a violation of the scientific method, which demands that strategic
    definitions be used consistently. If we held a mathematician to any definition of his choice, he would not be
    able to build his theories upon it. Therefore, it is understandable that he would motion the Court to relieve him
    of the scientific duty to define the versatile point.  

    Even worse, the morons of Mathematics attempt to do Geometry with abstract concepts. The infamous point
    of Mathematics lacks the one property that would allow it to be used in Geometry and in Physics: shape. The
    point is not a dot, but a location. The idiots at the Lunatic Asylum of Mathematics go through the motions of
    constructing geometric figures with this abstract 'brick'. Very funny actually!

A point is really a location, Bill.
In Mathematics, we kill the hours
moving locations from one
location to the next.
I was taught in
school that a point
looks like this.
But that’s a dot!
That’s a pictorial
representation of a point.
