Epigraph
اللَّهُ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ ۚ لَا تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَلَا نَوْمٌ ۚ لَّهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ ۗ مَن ذَا الَّذِي يَشْفَعُ عِندَهُ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ ۚ يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ ۖ وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِشَيْءٍ مِّنْ عِلْمِهِ إِلَّا بِمَا شَاءَ ۚ وَسِعَ كُرْسِيُّهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ ۖ وَلَا يَئُودُهُ حِفْظُهُمَا ۚ وَهُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ
God: there is no god but Him, the Ever Living, the Ever Watchful. Neither slumber nor sleep overtakes Him. All that is in the heavens and in the earth belongs to Him. Who is there that can intercede with Him except by His leave? He knows what is before them and what is behind them, but they do not comprehend any of His knowledge except what He wills. His throne extends over the heavens and the earth; it does not weary Him to preserve them both. He is the Most High, the Tremendous. (Al Quran 2:255)

When the Western civilization knew a little bit of science they grew atheist in philosophers like Hume and Kant. Now, that we know more science and biophilic universe and much more about consciousness, humanity has to come back to the worship of God of Abrahamic faiths. Shall we even take the liberty to say Islam is the Abrahamic faith?
Our material world is contingent and would need an explanation. Some beings or concepts are ‘necessary’ and exist as a brute fact and do not need explanation.
There are several people interviewed in the above video and then Robert Lawrence Kuhn sums it up in the last two minutes, starting at minute 25, he offers three choices for what may be necessary:
- Mathematical equations
- Some Consciousness
- God
To me the second and the third choice are the same. The creator of our universe would have the attributes of God and multiple Gods or creators of our universe are not possible as is stated in Surah Anbiyya:
If there had been in them (the heavens and the earth) other gods beside Allah, then surely both would have gone to ruin. Glorified then be Allah, the Lord of the Throne, above what they attribute. (Al Quran 21:22)
Mathematics or physics equations cannot be necessary or eternal, for a few reasons:
- They need to exist in the mind of a consciousness.
- 25% of the top mathematicians disagree with math being necessary.
- According to Stephen Hawking the equations do not have creative power, someone has to put fire in the equations for the universe or the mutliverse to roll out.
