Hi Platt,

Platt:
Example: science claims the universe has no purpose, but science and
scientists (not to mention all of life) exhibit purpose constantly.

Steve:
But we are talking about the purpose of the universe itself, so this
isn't a well-formulated question. Purpose is something that goes on
within the universe. How could there be a purpose that stands outside
of the universe if the universe means "everything that exists"? Such a
purpose then by definition does not exist. (Note that if any deities
exist, they are part of "everything that exists.") What is the purpose
of purpose?

Best,
Steve
