Clickbait or not, many of the great scientists and mathematicians of the past thought that the existence of a benevolent God meant that the universe might be understandable and that there may be elegant laws underpinning how the universe works.

To me its sort of a mystery why the universe is understandable at all -- e.g., the elegance and compactness of Maxwell's Equations for the complicated phenomenon of electromagnetism is one such example.
