the problem with his suggestion of a 'purpose' is that the anthropic principle explains how we would likely find ourselves in such a place. you couldn't wake up in the multiverse unless a series of events took place like they have. it has the appearance of directionality only because of where we're standing, just like natural selection can have that appearance and yet we know it isn't being directed, we know the basic processes.
he's quite an appeaser, i respect him for trying to keep the peace, and more should do so - but then yknow being a straight out philosophical agnostic just shows you haven't thought about it rigorously enough. a godmind from nothing? hm logical, not...

What nonsense.
Any derived absolute 'purpose' in this world is just purely absurd.
And we know electrons exist.
What we don't accurately know is where they are at any given time.
The argument is similar to the 'intelligent design' one in that just because there are alternative ideas around, it doesn't mean they are all equally valid or should be considered by anyone on any meaningful level to be competing theories.
Science is always open for new ideas, but a teapot on orbit of mars needs some evidence in support of it before anyone takes real interest in it.

I do agree on religion not being the main 'big evil' in the world but it is a powerful catalyst.
Religion is the fuel that is sprayed all around the house and is benign as long as you don't light a candle.
