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.
Biology defines the very purpose of BIOLOGICAL EXISTENCE. You see your biological being is designed to do a certain thing and is orientated to accomplish that very thing. It is why you do not breath water, drink arsenic, and humans are not created without the combination of male sperma and female ovum.
Do not confuse biological purpose with metaphysical purpose beyond the biological. You see the former is a fact of existence and the latter is some fanciful shit devoid of proof and to an atheist should be on par with believing the purpose of existence is to please god.
