What do you retards think about denis noble and his ideas about evolution being purposeful? I think he is making huge philosophical mistakes. His epistemology is self referential.

Oh, I wanted to watch that video, thanks.
Not having done so, here is my per-watch comment: life does have a "purpose", to maintain the replication of the DNA moelcule. It's an emergent and necessarily logical property of life: a type of life that promotes self-deletion, would not be around anymore.
Therefore, the process of life is "intelligent', in the sense that inanimate matter logically determines beneficial outcomes through trial and error. As we all know, "intelligence" does not imply "awareness", nor "cognition".
