Does the Universe Have a Purpose?

One of those interesting pages which one occasionally stumbles across: John Templeton Foundation : Does the Universe Have a Purpose?

On it, physicists, professors, astrophysicists, and other similarly highly-qualified people give their own honest opinion.


Peace, Love, & Light

The other day I woke up to "Everthing happens uncaused". I can't say it was a thought it was like I was it. If that makes any sence. So, from that awareness I will go with No, the universe has no purpose. I think it is us that gives meaning to everything.

Well...

...speculating on the origin and ultimate fate of the universe keeps the adfroementiond physicists, professors, astrophysicists and the rest employed, does it not??

Consider it a make-work project for the incurably nerdy.

We all have to make a living somehow....


I'd be quite contented to be described as "incurably nerdy" if i was paid as much as they are for doing what they do.

And speaking of nerds, how is it that Bluetooth ever caught on? Sticking one of those things on your ear is like putting a Star Trek bumper sticker on your car....
