Steven raised a good point above with regard to Newtonian dynamics, a human model, we now have galaxy rotation curves not giving 1 toss about this model... the results are violently different. We also have a little probe reaching the plasma double layer of our heliosphere that also doesn't fully follow the model.
Sorry for the rhetorical question but are you being dishonest again, or is it poor memory?
Remember the Neptune analogy for dark matter I gave a while back.

Nature does not, will not, care about man's mathematical models. Never has.
Nature doesn't care for illogical thinking, dishonesty and human bias either.

With regards to maths and nature take a look at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noether's_theorem

I've sent you this link beforehand, obviously the penny didn't drop beforehand, probably won't this time either.

As i raised before, by me, human mathematical models are handy, very handy, they help us average out, or provide quick "good enough" calculations to be used to better our experience.
But should be avoided at all costs if they are too difficult to comprehend or causes conflict with an ideology.
