Today's science offers a disheartening worldview wherein the evolution of all life is supposed to be the purposeless result of a blind, mechanical process. Is there any strong empirical basis for such a view, or is it more of an assumption motivated by a dogmatic value-system? In this video, we will look at how the current scientific position on evolution is self-contradictory, as well as explore an alternative interpretation of evolution by natural selection that, while remaining consistent with all evidence from the fossil record and anatomical/genetic analyses, reintroduces meaning and purpose to the dance of life.
