....do you have any questions?

[Krimel]
Sure, do you think that events in the future are controlling the past and
present?

gav: no.

Do you think that spiritual sense of oneness provides knowledge of a truth
beyond experience or an experience that is difficult to classify?

gav:it is not a truth 'beyond experience'. it is the truth *of* experience.

In what way does evolution run counter to entropy?

gav: 'evolution' usually refers to biological evolution - life. entropy is the increase in disorder of a system or the decrease in order. life is the increase in order of a system...in this case an ecosystem. life, left to itself, will produce a more and more complex and biodiverse ecosystem from even the most frugal beginnings.


Do you think there is purpose in the universe beyond what we humans bring to
the table?

gav: the universe cannot be separated from we humans. 'we' bringing stuff to the table is how the universe brings stuff to the table. meaning can be split into two kinds - implicit and explicit. there is no explicit meaning without humans. all experience is implicitly meaningful.
