A purpose implies intent or some kind of forethought, which evolution works completely without.
It's not a positive action (there is light so we need to develop eyes), but a passive result (there is light so the ones who happened to have eyes survived more often and reproduced more successfully).
- posterboy 9y agoAs a matter of fact, antropomorphisms are a very popular figure of speech and I've never seen much come from a remark against the preoccupation of evolution. The funny thing is, when you talk about human procreation suddenly there is intent and the goal post could be shifted to exclude those cases where pregnancy was not expected and I could probably question the cases where it's intended too because "a child" is a very broad cincept and as after thought not all cases turn out as expected and I would keep shifting in the same way you were about evolution, just to provoke discussion about free will and where to draw the line. Maybe frequent reminders against creationisms are necessary to provoke fundamentalists, which I don't personally have contact with, so this meme is just boring.
