I want to return to this idea that even atheists who reject the supernatural and scientists who are trained to not rely on teleological explanations of the world do, in fact, engage in teleological thinking. If these types of people consciously reject supernatural explanations of the world and our existence, how could they get meaning from teleological thinking? Well, the short answer is meaning is found in the heart, not the brain.
Many people who reject the supernatural do so through thoughtful reasoning. They think hard about whether there is any compelling reason to believe in forces beyond the scope of our understanding of the laws of nature and then conclude that such beliefs are unwarranted.
