Something on "purposeful" evolution.  His example of the adaptive immune 
system essentially means that "purpose" is just the random development 
of something that works to do something that can be selected for.  The 
random mutations are not directed, but they just produce something that 
can be identified as working better to bind to an antigen.  Nearly all 
of the millions of attempts are failures.

For evolution to work every change has to work within what already 
exists.  If a new function is created, that new function has to work 
within what already exists.  That is not purposeful, it is just reality.
