The Greater Mystery

from - Buck

"As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clear headed science, to the study of matter, I can tell you as the result of my research about atoms this much: There is no matter as such. All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particles of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together...We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter."

Max Planck

It seems that even great scientific thinkers like Planck feel the compulsion to anthropomorphize everything they don't completely understand...

Intelligence is a human trait... and so is projection.
