Sometimes things like numbers, which we cannot observe in the real world, have implications for the calculations we do make. We cannot observe them, and yet they have real implications for how we do things. And yet, where did mathematical laws come from? It's almost as if they're more discovered and remembered than invented...timeless, and everywhere. And that's how I think God is. It's the unified theory of everything for me.
