it just *is*.

I hope you arent' trying to remove motion from the world. If there is motion, it moves from one state to another. This is a different are of study than a metaphysics of being

All motion is teleological, whether predetermined or not.

Perhaps you'll recall that Plato moved away from the world of flux in order to understand what "just is."

" I hope you arent' trying to remove motion from the world."

No.

" All motion is teleological, whether predetermined or not."

Not in the way you mean it. There are many ways that *teleology* is used. You are talking about *cosmic teleology*.
This is different from teleomatic and teleonomic processes. Teleomatic processes are those of inanimate matter where the process moves toward an end state. Gravity is a good example. Teleonomic processes are ones that owe their goal-directedness to the operation of a program. Behavior is a good example here.

Cosmic teleology deals with the goals of the universe as a whole, it's purpose. It's not possible for their to be an ultimate goal for natural selection.
