When was the earliest form of math? How does this show that math has always been part of human history?

If mathematics were discovered and all physical things have some kind of mathematical pattern in them, how did everything appear? Is it possible that perfect (mathematicaly wise) things appeared out of nowhere or were they created by some higher power aka God? Therefore, does math prove the existance of God?

I believe maths were invented rather than discovered as i do not imagine it plausible that creatures throughout the universe also use the same mathematics as we do in order to problem solve.

Are numbers a human invention or discovery

Math is considered one of the purest fields. This is due to the nature of how the system and the axioms are defined, allowing things to be deductively true.

How can mathematical reasoning be supported both deductively and inductively?

Is it possible that not only numbers, but all abstractions which humans have derived from the real world, exist in a separate realm of ideas, which, like the internet, is created by humans and is only accessible through certain portals - not computers, but human minds?

Is it possible to understand only the nature of a thing , without converting it into a set of abstract ideas?

To what extent are scientific truths, which are more materialistic, more reliable than mathematical truths?

To what extent does faith influence the process of determining whether math is invented or discovered?

In what ways are we blinded in our judgements of mathematical claims by our authority worship of Mathematicians and scientists?

We say that "5x5=25", the mathematical knowledge is that the number 5, multiplied by itself is equal to the number 25, the knowledge and the fact has been discovered, i.e. it could be used in a calculation. However, another civilization could use different methods of demonstrating this same knowledge. For example, they could say that smeven fabricated is fiveyty. Although this would mean nothing to our civilization, it would model the same exact thing as 5x5=25. There are two different methods which have been invented, however they model the same discovered mathematical knowledge.
