My trouble with any of the teleological arguments is with
the tacit assumption that that that is is that that is intended.
Generally this is put forward with the blithe arrogance of
the little mind and less education of the typical evangelical
Christian who takes it as given that man is the crown of
creation and the Earth is his plaything.
I take the view that the purpose of the universe is that I
may spend recreational time typing this post. Admittedly
the universe took several millions of years to reach this
goal, but such good design was included from the outset
that.....Ta Daaaaa! Here we are.

So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat?
