Dear Wieslaw Galus

"What is the purpose and sense of existence of matter?" -- You ask.

Your question is a difficult to answer question. People espouse different worldviews regarding the definition of matter. Nore that there is organic matter (e.g., our body) and inorganic matter (e.g., a stone). Panphychists, for example, believe that all matter has, say, "anima", life, purpose, and even consciousness. As such, they see puropose in all matter. Physicalists or materialists do not espouse such an worldview and do not think that matter has a purpose. I prefer to value causal accounts and explanations (i.e., all that exists is an effect of a known or unknown cause) than teleological explanations or accounts. Because of this my position, I often has been accused of being positivist, materialist, adept of scientism, and the like. Needless to say, science (and I think of myself as a scientist') emphasizes causal accounts, and religions emphasizes teleological explanations. I understand both perspectives, but stick to causality accounts. I do not believe that, for example, that trees exist for giving us fruit or shadow (a teleological explanation) but they give us fruit and shadow because of, say, chemical and biological causes.

That this issue has been highly debated only compounds my idea that the purpose and sense of existence of matter is a heated, or say, hot topic. Needless or say, creationists are more like than evolutionists to find purpose and sense in the existence of matter. As a scientist, I espouse the causility view, even though I respect other worldviews.

Kind regards,

Thank you, Orlando for your response. But does anything make sense in the causal world? Do living creatures have any sense? What is the sens and meaning of human life? And what does it actually mean?

Sorry Andrew,

I can't do this, because my English is too poor.

But go ahead with your thought. There were so many questions in this thread, that you have choice to which question to answer.
