man is the result of a purposeless and natural process that did not have him in mind
'''George Gaylord Simpson''' was a Harvard paleontologist
who wrote:
{{quotebox|Although many details remain to be worked out, it is already evident that all objective phenomena of the history of life can be explained by purely naturalistic or, in a proper sense of the sometimes abused word, materialistic factors. They are readily explicable on the basis of differential reproduction in populations and the mainly random interplay of the known processes of heredity. Therefore, man is the result of a purposeless and natural process that did not have him in mind. - G. Simpson, Meaning of Evolution, p. 345}}
