  "unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics in the Natural Sciences" That's a reflection of underlying simplicity. There are only a few classical physical laws. Physical prediction follows from that. Hence the power of math. Biology does not have that property. "Our chosen, crafted interlocutor is not a mind like ours. It is a device which has no notion of truth or of morality." Trump?
