The idea that inanimate objects have desires fits quite well in Aristotelean physics, in which things have natural places to which they strive to return. It did not prove to be a fruitful way of understanding the detailed behavior of, well, anything, and was replaced several centuries ago. Odd to see it reappear now.

This is the price to pay by not accepting the idea of creation.

2 fish are swimming by the coast.
They see humans sunbath on the beach.

One says to the other "how nuts!!! don't they realise that they will die there????"

Exactly. You do can say that to all fishes.

Incorrect. Modern physics was invented by people who fully accepted the idea of creation. The problem with Aristotelian physics is that it isn't a good description of physical reality.

They tried to take physics too far. It doesn't go to creation.

Hilarious how you say "exactly", while not even comprehending that it only goes to show how ridiculous your own argument was concerning an arbitrarily chosen type of life living under conditions that is only suitable for that type of life.

that's because so called "creation" is not part of the natural world, therefore outside the realm of science.

There are some who think that the Big Bang was the creation event but that is certainly far from being a slam dunk.
