Where do you find misunderstandings in the paradoxes I wrote above?
Are you suggesting science finds the universe nonrandom, nonchaotic with
meaningful (purposeful) events? Or that models of evolution, for example,
include the all modeler's feelings, memories and thoughts? 

After explaining the misunderstandings, try these:

The present never changes, but everything that changes changes
in the present.

and

The theory that all is matter and energy consists of neither energy nor matter.
