For me, the idea of a creation is not conceivable without invoking the necessity of design. One cannot be exposed to the law and order of the universe without concluding that there must be design and purpose behind it all.
Interpretation
What this quote means

Wernher Von Braun emphasizes that the existence of order and law in the universe suggests a higher design and purpose behind creation. To comprehend creation fully, one must recognize the inherent design that underlies the natural world, pointing to the idea that chaos and randomness are unlikely explanations for the complexity observed in the universe.
