Purpose
Monday, June 22, 2009
Is there purpose in the universe and, if so, what is its relation to the Creator?
Henry Margenau answers very definitely,
"There my argument is extremely simple.
What is the difference between cause and purpose?
Cause is determination of future events by the past.
Purpose is determination of future events by a vision of the future.
You can't have purpose unless you visualize what you want to do.
Therefore, purpose requires a mind."
