This is an important concept, I explained this many times in the past: the purpose we create ourselves is not real purpose its an illusion. And therefore people are not consistent when they claim their purpose is this thing or that thing..
I just finished reading the greatest show on earth by Dawkins, I think il buy Sheldrake's book now, thank for the article!
Not quite.
You stated this in the past, you didn't 'explain' it. It's merely an assertion. The quoted sentence has no logical sense. There are purposes in nature - the ones humans (and possibly numerous other animals) have. Humans are natural, after all. If you mean nature as an abstract entity, then we can begin engaging in reductio ad absurdum to elucidate the nonsense of the claim.
