Test my belief system

Did I pass?

To add to my waffle about purpose, I'd say survival is an aim of most life forms (consciously or otherwise) but that there was no purpose behind life forms being "created" in the first place. Of course, to us, things have all sorts of purposes, because they are significant or achieve something in particular.

To try and explain... me driving my car to London has no inherent purpose to it. The purpose only comes about by me planning to do something in London, and as such the purpose is to get me to London. So it is a subjective purpose. To someone else, they may consider the thing I'm planning to do in London serves no purpose at all because it's of no significance to them or they think it's a waste of time. But they may acknowledge it has purpose to me. That's the thing, without a thinking agent to assign purpose, there is none; that's what I mean by "inherent". In contrast, the mass of an object for example is not subjective, it is inherent.

From the universe's point of view, nothing I do serves any purpose, because there is no objective goal being set or achieved.
