Who determines what "the best possible end" is?
Since everything created in nature dies or corrodes in the end, and everything and everyone we know and love will cease to exist, I'm finding it hard to understand your claim here.
It is self evident that nature creates for the best possible end, because this, here and now, is the best possible end, because it is the only possible end, given our history, the anthropic principle and entropy.
This appears to be argument by definition, and not a particularly good definition at that. Kindly demonstrate that this is the best possible end and the only end.
