No rational explanation…? - 24 June 2009 |
|
The rational intelligibility of the universe implies that a rational Mind lies behind it (John C. Lennox, God’s Undertaker, pp. 58-62).
Accordingly, many unbelieving scientists who spend time thinking about such matters cannot explain why the universe should be intelligible at all. Here’s Eugene Wigner (yes, that’s right, that Wigner – let the reader understand), for example:
The enormous usefulness of mathematics in the natural sciences is something bordering on the mysterious, and there is no rational explanation for it … it is an article of faith. (God’s Undertaker, p. 60, italics added)
