Mathematics and the Universe

[Purple Rabbit]

The universe is a place stable enough to evolve (over a span of billion years) life in it that can contemplate on it's existence. It seems not farfetched to me in this situation to suppose some order and underlying structure that supports this kind of stability, the alternative being total chaos that leaves no room for our kind of life in the first place. It is not surprising therefore imo that these creatures, embedded in, build on and condemned to manipulate their existence within the borders of this order and structure, more or less iteratively find access to the underlying principles. Only the effectiveness thereof is puzzling but not a reason to invoke a celestial lawgiver. For this supposes that the laws of nature themself are in need of an (intelligent) agent who dictates them. This clearly is a false analogy with human law giving (with infinite regress lurking as a side effect) . The laws of nature show no need for such an agent. Once again it is clear that science suggests no celestial agent. To invoke one is entirely a big leap of faith.
