Science excludes any suggestion of teleology, considering it a form of religious belief. Young replies that the design is there in nature to be seen by anyone who looks. Using the formalisms of the theory of process, he is able to describe the pattern he has perceived underlying the universe and evolution. The theory of process asserts that the universe is a dynamic learning process rather than a static structure conveniently frozen in time for our observation. The physical universe has its source in and is derived from a prior or transcendent unity, a primordial unity or first cause, essentially non-material and spiritual in nature.
First cause is immanent as well as transcendent.
No matter how much our knowledge may expand we can never eliminate this box. No matter how vast our finite knowledge, it can never circumscribe that which is infinite. Young's insight into the nature and significance of the quantum of uncertainty is an essential component of his theory and one of his most profound gifts to science. While the energy of a photon varies in direct proportion to its frequency, Planck determined that photons in nature must always package their energy in units of action of constant invariant size. Since all chemical and molecular activity is dependent on the transmission of quanta of action from one point to another, i.e., all activity comes from photons, the quantum of action can be viewed as the fundamental unit of the universe.
