I said that you were conflating purpose and value, and that in fact these are different things. You haven't addressed that yet.

I did address that.

I pointed out that Dawkins is the one that originally cites "survival value" as "archeo purpose", in his youtube video "the purpose of purpose" on minute 29:25.

If something has survival value, that means it helps the thing survive. 

If you look at what I said, I am saying that value is about worth. Is it GOOD for thing to survive? 

In the OP you suggest that God could have made more valuable things in the universe. I have been trying to ask you "valuable in what way"? Did you intend from the beginning to say that God could have given more traits with survival value to something or someone?
