"Nothing is too wonderful to be true if it be consistent with the laws of nature"

-Michael Faraday (1791 -1867)

We find ourselves existing in a logical cause and effect realm with three dimensions of space and one of time, as far as we can discern. We are an intelligent cognitive species who have developed science with its various disciplines to better understand existence and our place in it. In the scientific exploration of the universe we observe that logically based design and mechanism are profoundly evident, at all levels of existence from galactic clusters, down to the miniscule atom. Matter that is animated, life as we know it, also has design, mechanism and purpose. We have evolved to be able to understand and manipulate the realm we exist in, in a minor to moderate fashion. It is obvious that the universe is at least slightly anthropomorphic, designed so as to be favorable to human life. Were it not, we wouldn't exist to observe it.

Those advocates of the weak anthropomorphic school subscribe to a googolplex of other uninhabitable universes, a multi-verse, to account for the random friendliness of our particular realm. We are the most intelligent species existing on this planet. We are matter left over from exploded stars that has evolved to walk upright and have five digits on each of our two upper extremities making us, for the most part, an intuitively programmed base ten counting species. It is suggested that the universe is very anthropomorphic and a base ten cosmic code is encrypted within the basic morphology, the mathematical geometry of matter. We have evolved to be able to understand the universe more than ever before, but, the basic code has eluded us, while it was right before us all along. Until now, the start sequence was unknown to us.

It is assumed, scientifically, that our existence and the cosmos we inhabit arose from random chance, mathematical probability. Our universe could have just as easily been something other or not at all. The alternative to this multi-world view is that the universe is of intelligent design, that an Almighty God or Supreme Intelligence created all things. Although, many scientists believe in God, the scientific community as a whole formally rejects this second alternative. Logic dictates that adding God in at the beginning of everything, with no valid proof there of, is just adding another unknown to the
