Not sure if I'm following here or if we are trying to say similar things. The quote re: a "Newton for a blade of grass" is intended to make the question of purpose irrelevant. Newton's theory of gravitational explained physical systems without purpose, just as Darwin's theory of evolution explained biological systems without purpose. They make any questions re: purpose irrelevant. All you can do is create internal subjective purpose for yourself. Not project a larger purpose into things that are inherently purposeless.
