DHW: There is no single overriding purpose; evolution simply moves onward in whatever directions it is led by individual intelligence.-It seems to me that you two are arguing over this more than anything. All of our personal pet theories on life require faith, intelligence from nothing, and some sort of starting energy. The real dilemma seems to be the question of purpose. (Feel free to correct me if I am mistaken, but...)
DHW thinks there is no purpose. (As do atheist)
David thinks that humanity was the purpose. (Though he goes no further than that, that I have seen)
I think that there is a purpose, but that purpose was put on pause to deal with some housekeeping issues brought on by free will.

What is the purpose of living? How about, 'to reduce needless suffering. It seems to me to be a worthy purpose.
