So I take it your answer to how can a purposeless universe evolve
purposeful creatures and how can an entityless universe evolve entities is
"Don't ask."
Also, I know of no evidence that answers the question of how "did" a
purposeless universe evolve entities with a purpose to pass along their
genes. So far as I know the beginning of life (the first life form) on
earth is still a mystery to science with some theorizing it came from
space. Have I missed a discovery?
Thanks
