Okay, all well and good, now if you could elaborate on our various points of disagreement? Show me where I've made an error? I've put my cards on the table, what I know is there for anyone to see - rip it to shreds, I positively invite the experience into my life. You're just claiming to have some cards...behind your back..in your pocket....I don't know where. You say they exist though, so I guess that's that.

If this is going to be a pissing contest lets make it a pissing contest between -claims- at the very least, eh? Otherwise, I've got a real big dick, and are you sure this is the hill to die on? We're both interested in the same thing. A sound deductive or solid inductive reason to state that nature has no purpose.
Look, if you can acknowledge the weaknesses in either argument and say "I still think it's decent" - then we have a simple difference of opinion. If you think those weaknesses simply aren;t -present-...then please, make that case. It would be great to have yet another strong argument in favor of nature-with-no-purpose.
