" thing is built, and it's up to us to explore the system and discover the timeless truths contained within it, if we want to know them. Thus it feels like those truths exist and that we are discovering them, but this is because it is easy to lose sight of the fact that we made the whole system by choosing the axioms and logic. Also often lost in the shuffle, the axioms and logic are abstract things that do not “exist” in reality. They are abstract statements (hence their timelessness, incidentally—and yes, do draw the relevant analogy to an “eternal” God here) made in and shared by the minds of thinking beings who created them.
