Oh IDK. It's probably more accurate to say that evolutionary biology provides a candidate for natural teleology. That we have teeth because teeth are good for chewing, and there's a process (a set, really) that organizes life around that natural teleology.
Why aren't teeth good for curing cancer, instead, for example? Why aren't toenails ghost detectors? Why is it that it seems that the purpose or design of x y and z invariably boil down to a natural teleology... teleology that doesn't need any god to explain?
In a world made for god purpose, by god purpose, it was more god-purposefully important that our knees not be good for jumping to the moon than that our souls be immune to the corruption that would necessitate their destruction.
What the actual fuck?
Forget all that other stuff for a moment and explain what in the world about the evolutionary connection to DNA is teleological?
Why is it so?
