Critique of Universal Cause and Purpose in Nature
Not all phenomena in nature necessarily exhibit an inherent purpose or a traceable initiating cause. Modern scientific observations, such as in quantum physics and evolutionary biology, suggest that many events occur without predetermined intent or systematic design. Instead of every effect being the result of a specific first cause or built-in final purpose, some occurrences may be products of random interactions or emergent processes. This indicates that while many natural events can be explained by cause and effect, it is overly simplistic to generalize that all aspects of nature operate under a singular, ultimate order or teleology.
