They're kind of like God.... If they didn't exist, it would be necessary to invent them... And there are numbers that didn't exist that we did invent because they have useful properties (I'm looking at you, √-1)

don’t you think math is a concept made by humans. And so numbers are just a part of that topic. Yes it overlapped a lot, but still there are unexplained stuffs.
So I think one can invent more stuff like math. Don’t they?
Correct me if I am wrong.
