Mathematics and number theory is abstract in its nature, much of it axiomatic. While your math books and algorithm books will not discuss ultimate origins, the concepts themselves only make sense in an ordered, unified, and purposeful universe. Otherwise the axioms are just sort of floating out there on their own, with no meaning.

There is beauty in this, and order:

I think it was Einstein who said, "There are those who live as though nothing is a miracle. And there are those who live as if everything is a miracle." Beautiful!
