What sense of why are you using here?

If your 'why' speaks of ultimate purpose then you are starting from the presupposition that there is an ultimate purpose at all. Before you can ask "What is the ultimate purpose?" you have to ask "Is there an ultimate purpose?" and perhaps the answer to that is "no". Again, depends what you mean by 'ultimate purpose'.

That's the reason for the question. It demands a yes or no answer. Either is acceptable but can it be accepted? Some ideas have consequences. YMMV.
