Eugene Wigner
Dr. Walter L. Bradley: Is There Scientific Evidence for the Existence of God? How the Recent Discoveries Support a Designed Universe
Nobel laureates Eugene Wigner and Albert Einstein have respectfully evoked "mystery" or "eternal mystery" in their meditations upon the brilliant mathematical encoding of nature's deep structures. But as Kepler, Newton, Galileo, Copernicus, Davies, and Hoyle and many others have noted, the mysterious coherency of the mathematical forms underlying the cosmos is solved if we recognize these forms to be the creative intentionality of an intelligent creator who has purposefully designed our cosmos as an ideal habitat for us.

Eugene Wigner famously spoke of the “unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics in natural science”—unreasonable only if one assumes, we might add, that the universe is not underwritten by reason. Wigner was impressed by the simplicity of the mathematics that describes the workings of the universe and our relative ease in discovering them. Philosopher Mark Steiner, in The Applicability of Mathematics as a Philosophical Problem, has updated Wigner’s musings with detailed examples of the deep connections and uncanny predictive power of pure mathematics as applied to the laws of nature

“It will remain remarkable, in whatever way our future concepts may develop, that the very study of the external world led to the scientific conclusion that the content of the consciousness is the ultimate universal reality” -
Eugene Wigner – (Remarks on the Mind-Body Question, Eugene Wigner, in Wheeler and Zurek, p.169) 1961 – received Nobel Prize in 1963 for ‘Quantum Symmetries’

“It was not possible to formulate the laws of quantum mechanics in a fully consistent way without reference to consciousness.”

As Wigner pointed out and Frenkel now again affirms, there are thus two miracles to be confronted, first the magical existence of a world of mathematical truths independent of human existence and physical reality, and second the magical correspondence of at least some of these mathematical truths to the “physical” workings of the natural world (as we perceive them in human consciousness). No one has any scientific explanation for any of this. As Frenkel comments about the total mystery, although physicists and other “scientists have been exploiting this ‘effectiveness’ [of mathematics] for centuries, its roots are still poorly understood”—indeed, are not really understood at all, as Frenkel would likely concede, if pressed on the matter.
Eugene Wigner: The mathematical underpinning of nature "is something bordering on the mysterious and there is no rational explanation for it.
