There is no why to existence, there is only a how it came to be. Beauty is an emotional reaction, and emotions are mapped in the brain. I doubt an iguana sees beauty, for example. Define goodness, and I might be able to give a scientific reason behind it. If it's altruism, doing good acts to one another and etc., then that is an evolved survival mechanism. How we best live out our short lives can't be answered by science, I'll give you that one.
