Such a stupid question doesn't really deserve a response, but I'll be condescending to the poor eighth-brain. Mathematics is a human invention. Basically, it's just counting. We count things in the real world: apples, sheep, fingers, etc. Anything else is frosting on the cake. I like frosting (I have a degree in mathematics, so I obviously do), but anyone who believes numbers, any number, exist as real objects out there in the universe somewhere has bats in his belfry.
