    Hi,

    Poot: No it does not. The purpose we , as humans, associate with this seems
    to be useful. However, we justify this usefulness by our own sense of
    reality.

    There was reality before humans existed, and that reality continues today
    regardless of what goes on inside our heads. Coulld we call the goal of
    evolution , purpose? (seriously though)
