Cosmic will

If energy is all that constitutes the universe, as physicalists claim, then the behaviour of energy defines all that exists and all that happens in the universe. And what is the basic behaviour of energy? To me it seems to be that energy, above all else, causes things to exist. In fact, it seems that this is the one and only purpose of energy. It causes things to exist.
So, can any philosophical conclusions be drawn from this? Perhaps not, but to explain the behaviour of energy, one must resort to one of two possible explanations. Either, this behaviour is entirely coincidental, or it is in fact meant to be so. Both of these explanations might be correct, but it seems unlikely that all energy in the universe should work towards a common goal by pure coincidence.
And anyway, regardless of which answer to that question you prefer, it must at least be agreed that, even if we cannot say that the universe as a whole has a will, it does exhibit will-like behaviour. We see this kind of behaviour in all living things. Both plants and animals work towards some goal, usaually connected to its own survival and the survival of its species. We do not see this behaviour in inanimate objects.
Though i admit this in itself does not prove that the universe is a living thing in the same sense as organic life, and of course it is not, it still seems evident that they share at least one common quality, that separates them from inanimate objects. Is this an argument for seeing the universe as more than an inanimate object? Is there indeed such a thing as a cosmic will?
