I read an article about the "unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics" that it was basically the result of a drunk looking for his keys under a lamp post because that's where the light is. We know how to use math to model parts of the world, and every where we look, there's _something_ we can model with math, but that doesn't mean that there's all there is to the universe. We could be understanding .0000001% of what's out there to understand, and it's the stuff that's amenable to mathematical analysis.
