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
