Arguments for direction in evolution

I find the arguments that evolution is “non-purposive” as closed as the arguments for direction, information is lacking in both arguments.

I often use intellectual intuition, analogy, and patterns in evolution, eg. from the simple to the complex, from unconscious to consciousness, etc. Also, when one theory harmonizes with another seemingly unrelated theory this is helpful. These arguments tend to accumulate and that accumulation is good in forming the larger picture.

I see no reason to deny that one may be transferring a seemingly ideal drive to a natural drive when one speaks of the Spirit Within as the Will To Godhood which activates life and has a Godhood goal for evolution. This is an ideal defined as material or supermaterial, that is different from standard idealism which usually rejects the material in using pure logic or spiritual conceptions.

“Verification” by science will be nice, but science too may have too expand its methods.
