Evolution and natural selection ARE the gods of this world!

[Aoi Magi]

The thing is, yeh, there might be a "reason" behind the present randomness that we see, or it might turn out to be just a coincidence, but at this point in time and our present knowledge we can only see the random cause and effect, and thus presupposing a reason or planned purpose is wrong. Saying that the universe is a giant data processor is also a bit wrong, cause yes it is made up of the same energy/matter/particles which at a certain level of combination is what we are made of, but that doesn't necessarily make all of that "data". For example if you reduce a substance to the molecular level, a single molecule would still be the basic building block of that substance and contain the "data" of that substance, but if you go one step beyond that and reduce it to atomic state, there is no "data" of the actual substance. So following this trend, at the most basic level it wouldn't be right to consider those building blocks of the universe would be possessing similar "data" as our building blocks or that the universe could be a giant living/thinking machine working on such data. Yes there is a possibility that the universe has a form of intelligence we are yet to understand, but it is just a possibility, and till our science becomes capable of looking into any such possibilities, this would be just speculative assumptions.
