The universe we cannot even begin understand. At the very small or the very large our math falls apart. It's good enough to get us to the moon and back, but not good for much beyond that. Regardless, just because we can make the math work doesn't mean the universe was created.The universe can be described by elegant equations. Those equations would hold true even if there were no human minds to notice the equations.What's this?Design
Robert Frost, 1874 - 1963
I found a dimpled spider, fat and white,
On a white heal-all, holding up a moth
Like a white piece of rigid satin cloth--
Assorted characters of death and blight
Mixed ready to begin the morning right,
Like the ingredients of a witches’ broth--
A snow-drop spider, a flower like a froth,
And dead wings carried like a paper kite.
What had that flower to do with being white,
The wayside blue and innocent heal-all?
What brought the kindred spider to that height,
Then steered the white moth thither in the night?
What but design of darkness to appall?--
If design govern in a thing so small.

To a rational mind it's some lines and dots. To your mind, it's a horse. Your mind imposes its own reality instead of dealing with what is reality, which is why you believe in design, and a designer known as God.
More accurately, we can't get the math of the very small to work with the math of the very large. In their own domains the respective maths are actually pretty good. But we know that we're at least a little wrong.
