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.
[siderant]You have no business telling anyone else how they should feel about metaphysical purpose. Being an atheist doesn't have anything to do with that. Are you seriously trying to say atheists cannot believe in having a predestined purpose? Have you learned nothing since you got here?[/siderant]
Human beings have no biological purpose. We have biological functions. You can say, the biological purpose of sexual intercourse is reproduction. I don't see how you can say the biological purpose for the existence of human beings is anything. I don't think we have a biological purpose.
