False.
Evolution itself (a process in which we play a part) has no purpose, because purpose implies intelligence, which is a no-no because it points in the general direction of ID/Creationism.
Humans and to a lesser extent other animal have intelligence. To state otherwise is ridiculous; we coined the word 'intelligence' to describe ourselves.What you're trying to do here is put words to an argument from incredulity; you can't believe our intelligence came from a natural process, and so you're trying to find a philosophical or scientific basis for your incredulity. There is none.
. There's a counterargument, in fact, under your nose. When a baby is conceived, it is a single-celled creature, with a comparatively big genome, but not overwhelmingly bigger than an amoeba. We have watched the process of a baby's in utero development closely, hundreds of time, and we can find no introduction of other, extraneous information to the developing child, less yet any supernatural process intervening, yet it grows from a single cell to an intelligent creature. Is that 'intelligence' packed into the sperm and egg? Hardly. So where did it come from?
There's a difference in mocking and familiarity.
And you seem very sensitive to the former. You dish mockery out frequently, yet it seems to outrage you that some people find you worthy of mockery yourself.
Hey dude, I compile those quotes and move on. I don't dwell on it or keep them stored somewhere until I judge the time ripe to take it back out and shoot it at someone.
That's funny. You don't consider what's on your home page stored somewhere?
For someone whose prime directive is supposed to be the Golden Rule, you don't seem to have grasped basic reciprocity, which Dennett has argued, BTW, is a selected trait. Insult people, and they'll insult you back. Post or keep long dead quotes from them, and they will do the same to you. Quote others out of context to invert their meaning, and people will find it hilarious when you rage at the slightest negative connotation put on your own words.
