I read your blog article and I must respectfully disagree with it. Intentionality in the biological realm is clearly an epiphenomenon upon evolution, which is very much an intention-less physical process that does not require any posited intentionality of the universe. The apparent ‘intention’ of organisms to survive is simply a matter of that the organisms that did not have an ‘intention’ of survival did not survive to pass on their genes while those that did did. Likewise, the development of human ‘intentions’ is an epiphenomenon upon the evolution of the human brain, as those ancestors who had certain sorts of ‘intentions’ lived on to pass on their genes to future generations of hominids while those that did not did not.
About quantum physics and the observer problem, one issue is that an ‘observer’ is not clearly defined. There is no reason why an ‘observer’ must necessarily be a human or even an organism; it could be any sufficiently macroscopic change in state resulting from an interaction with a quantum state.
