By your standards, biology just proved that the purpose of human existence is to take a shit.
Regrettably you are confusing a function of biology with the teleological purpose of biology. Alas biological existence does not culminate in the shitting of our being. More is the pity. However it is readily observable that the biological existence of nearly every species on this planet culminates in sexual maturity and procreation. Most species do not live much beyond this point no matter how much they hold in that next shit. So shitting must not be the point of their existence.
If no one took a shit, ever, mankind would be extinct a hell of a lot faster than if people stopped having babies.
Yes my thing was silly, but my point stands. Biology cannot prove the purpose of existence. It can only tell you what is necessary to exist and continue existing. The only way that would make sense is if existing is actually our purpose and you can argue that it is, but you can't prove it.
