Still, I can't help but see, even if I grant you what you want, that there is order or symmetry or that it is a mathematical structure, that all this somehow necessitates a grand intelligence, a massive astronomical brain, if you will, running the show. Why couldn't order and math just be fundamental properties of our metaphysical Universe, that create the possibility for consciousness and intelligence but are themselves devoid of any? Call them God if you must but realize this is basically just pantheism.
Yes. It sure looks like order determined by patterns of underlying or interactive order is the most prevalent thing we find as we begin to explore the cosmos.
If there was one thing a god might bring to the table it is randomness. Such a rare commodity.
