Partner, I really had a good instrument engineer that I worked with and he was like a father to me since my father had also gone and lived through the Great Depression and WWII. He told me that the main reason he got into Electrical Engineering and Mathematics is that the formulas for solving problems do not change. He told me to let that sink in for a few days. He was 100% correct and I was glad to tell him he was 100% correct.
I told my wife that you can not change formulas in Mathematics since they have been proven to be exactly correct and the same goes for engineering formulas.
I left my wife speechless for once. The husband gets to win an argument once in a long while.
I love your line about the book of Hebrews.

Partner, like someone told me a long time ago that once a formula has been proven mathematically to be true then you can take it to bank or you can it as Gospel Truth.
A lot of these formulas in mathematics have all been proven to be correct.
