RE: Agnostic nonsense…

Hm. The point I was trying to make (evidently without success) is that the distinction is an artificial one. Either teleological questions can be answered “in terms of science explaining the world”, or they’re entirely fatuous.

“Searching for ultimate purpose” is like snipe hunting. The snipe hunter has failed to question whether his quarry even exists, simply assuming it does from his companions’ testimony. Teleological questions, if purely physical answers are considered unacceptable, are based on a similar bad assumption — dualism.
