no... regardless of myth of legend...
Fossils on the tops of mountains are there because they were once below sea level....
Thats how this planet works...plates move and push up islands and mountians
and the biblical flood never happened in any case...
Every case around the world were local floods...
There has never been a global flood
The thing is, a global flood matches the evidence better. What's the evidence that all organisms mutated gradually from the last universal common ancestor microbe?

Please cite the research papers that confirm your opinion. Not myths and legends. Real research with experimental data.
Higher purpose is implied if there was a higher intelligence that created our world. Just like us intelligent beings create things often for a purpose, then a higher intelligence would be able to give us a purpose. This is empirical because we are very much seeing the necessity of intelligence with every day life. Our code of laws for example, it helps sustain our society. Soo too do natural laws sustain our reality, and they do not change, showing they are of a higher mandate.
Consciousness must have preceded matter because the wave-function collapse itself is effected by the conscious experimenter. This is undeniable no matter how much you want to ignore quantum science.. its just the way it is whether you like it or not. This was the conclusion of the biggest thinkers in developing quantum physics as per the Copenhagen Interpretation and the Observer Effect. Most notably verified by Wheeler's delayed choice experiment, which he described that either the photon is traveling back in time to change its mind, or the observer is the fundamental variable in wave-function collapse.
Physicists have found that even passive observation of quantum phenomena (by changing the test apparatus and passively "ruling out" all but one possibility) can actually change the measured result. Despite the "observer" in this experiment being an electronic detector—possibly due to the assumption that the word "observer" implies a person—its results have led to the popular belief that a conscious mind can directly affect reality.[3] The need for the "observer" to be conscious is not supported by scientific research, and has been pointed out as a misconception rooted in a poor understanding of the quantum wave function ψ and the quantum measurement process
no truth can be attributed to an object except according to the results of its measurement

Okay, but you still have not explained what exactly our "ultimate higher purpose" is supposed to be.
its results have led to the popular belief that a conscious mind can directly affect reality.

I noticed a distinct lack of quantified or otherwise measured qualities/properties diagramed in your response

Still no evidence. Another topic, no evidence. More topics, no evidence. You've painted yourself into a corner. No evidence, no science.
Nah my primary evidence for that assertion is the placebo effect. Sheer belief in improvement can improve the outcome. Quantum physics is kinda just the cherry on top to show that sub-atomic sized mechanisms are also aware of this effect of a conscious agent.
You think this is saying there is no objectivity? That's absurd considering Schroedinger has an equation that predicts the spatiality of a particle which is one of the fundamental equations in all of quantum physics. Your quote is actually saying that the measurement is what actualizes the waveform! This insists on the same point I have been making this whole time.
Lol look no further than the top of the page to see multiple qualitative aspects of earth that insist there was some sort of massive flood to move boulders outside of glacial ranges. Or even my last paragraph where I mention Schroedinger's equation to support the assertion that quantum physics are objective, this means the very laws of physics have purpose

There's more evidence for the tooth fairy than for the crap you post.
NO EVIDENCE, NO SCIENCE.

Sheer belief can change the laws of physics, but evolution is impossible.
That's not evidence
