That the Universe follows mathematical equations at its fundamental level is the basis of all reality.  The alternative is magic, a Universe which is governed by no physical laws.  A Universe which simply exists absent any creator god would have to be governed by mathematics (what would be the alternative?); a created Universe, on the other hand, could be governed by magic (think of Dragon Ball Z or Winx Club.)
