How do you explain teleologic exploration?

The idea that we have eyes because we have the need of eyesight. Searching for, examining, and studying the purpose behind existence and all things.

It’s the basis of the teleological argument for the existence of a God, and the idea of intelligent design.

How do you explain the WHY behind teleological exploration? Um… because human nature requires explanations for everything, and anything we don’t understand we like to attribute to a higher power? The yearning for something greater?

Wikipedia supplies: “…a being realizing a purpose by means of a natural tendency directed toward the perfection of its own nature. In essence, it is what is “good for” a being. For example, physical masses obey universal gravitational tendencies that did not evolve, but are simply a cosmic “given.” Similarly, life is intended to behave in certain ways so as to preserve itself from death, disease, and pain.”
