If he stopped at "Coming to be is for the sake of being", I would just disagree with the notion of intent or design, but then he adds the second part and loses me. Given the scientific tools they had at their disposal, he seems to be making the safe, logical call, so it's funny that he ended up wrong.

And correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this a false dichotomy?
