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.)
Mathematics are a product of the human mind, not the other way around. I don't think you mean what I think you mean, so I won't press this any further, but do consider putting it differently.
