Of course, and what we understand so far about the universe and the extreme unlikeliness of our existence should warrant an explanation.
Physics is not all there is. Back to my analogy : the existence of marksman who just killed a bird is then - according to you - unknowable from the viewpoint of a physicist if he doesn't witness him shooting. The investigator finds out the bullet - already a sophisticated element in its own right - punctured vital organs of the bird, the trajectory seemed to be very very precise and tuned. Can the investigator then say : that's all I can know, there is a bullet, a dead bird with a punctured head, and that's it? The whole scene in front of the investigator absolutely warrants an explanation, even if it were not true or not provable formally, it's still the only reasonable thing to do.

Our unlikelyness of existance is exaclty '1' as I stated before. Here we are to regard every thing around us. We just do it more 'Abstractly' than most other organisms on the planet... Currently.

You're analogy is mixing the human's intent with the physics applied by the humans.

Intently directed mayhem is the same whether it's a fire sharpened stick or a berylium encased casaba howitzer.

As I replied before. A volcano's intent of its pyroclastic flow is just as deadly as any human crafted item. A vocano, however, is simply doing what the physics of geology etc direct.

A fire hardened stick will kill the bird just as surely as the pyroclastic flow will.... One is humanity appling physics. The other is physics just 'applying' itself all over a mountain.

So... other than 'Physics' (And I'll happy broaden the idea to 'nature' or 'Naturalism') what else might there be?

Cheers.

Not at work.
