Dodging the issue because you're trapped.

No, I am demonstrating that you are the one who is actually equivocating.
Are you or are you not trying to establish "ultimate or divine purpose" by using the empirical evidence in science?
Because if you are not, I have no problem with your use of teleological in that context. I already explained that life has a purpose, "to continue". That purpose is inherent in the first life form that reproduced. This does not mean that all components in nature are aware of that purpose. It may be that we as humans are the only ones aware of that purpose, because we can sit back and look at the bigger picture. It does not even mean that purpose can be equated to other human ideas of purpose.
