Bhāgavatam is the Answer

the material sphere related to creation, maintenance and destruction are verily relishable by the  prākṛta , or mundane devotees of the Lord. As the  yoga  system mainly based on bodily exercises is meant for the person who is too much attached to the bodily conception of existence, similarly the pastimes of the Lord related to creation and destruction of the material world are for those who are too much materially attached. For such mundane creatures the functions of the body as well as the functions of the cosmic world by physical laws in relationship with the Lord are also therefore included in understanding the lawmaker, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The scientists explain the material functions by so many technological terms of material law, but such blind scientists forget the lawmaker. The  Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam  points out the lawmaker. One should not be amazed by the mechanical arrangement of the complicated engine or dynamo, but one should be praising the engineer who creates such a wonderful working machine. That is the difference between the devotee and nondevotee. Devotees are always full with praising the Lord who directs the physical laws. In the  Bhagavad-gītā  the direction of the Lord upon the material nature is described as follows:
mayādhyakṣena prakṛtiḥ sūyate sacarācaram hetunānena kaunteya jagad viparivartate.
“The material nature full of physical laws is one of My different energies; therefore it is neither independent nor blind. Because I am transcendentally all-powerful, simply by My glancing over the material nature, the physical laws of nature work so wonderfully. The actions and reactions of the physical laws work on that account, and thus the material world is created, maintained and annihilated again and again.”
Men with poor fund of knowledge, however, become astonished by studying the physical laws both within the construction of the individual body as well as the cosmic manifestation and foolishly decry the existence of God, taking it for granted that the physical laws are independent without any metaphysical control. The  Bhagavad-gītā  replies to this foolishness in the following words:
avajānanti māṁ mūḍha mānuṣīṁ tanum āśritam paraṁ bhāvam ajānanto mama bhūta-maheśvaram.
“The foolish men [ mūḍhāḥ ] do not know the Personality of Godhead in His eternal form of bliss and knowledge.” The foolish man thinks of the
