Denton is an M.D. and does research in molecular biology. In Evolution; A Theory in Crisis >, 1985, he uses molecular evolutionary chemistry to tear Darwin apart, pointing huge gaps in chemical changes such as with hemogolobin. In Nature's Destiny , 1998 , he takes the position that the universe is designed for humans, again with lots of chemical evidence. As you knows I follow his thinking and have read both books.-
Believe it or not, I actually disagree with this statement, to an extent. The universe was designed to support life, not just humans. I really don't like setting ourselves up as the center stage like that. I think that humans are an integral part of life in general, but not that we are the sole reason for all of creation.

What is the purpose of living? How about, 'to reduce needless suffering. It seems to me to be a worthy purpose.
