The Sun's 'purpose' is to fuse protons so as to produce deuterium (heavy hydrogen) and thence helium-4. The fact that life on this planet literally revolves around this energy source is a consequence of emergent biology, totally independent of whatever the Sun might be imagined to think of the matter. Indeed, from the Sun's perspective, we humans and fellow Earth-dwellers are nothing but parasites feeding off the Sun's 'life' processes and giving nothing in return.
because everything has one.
The sun has a purpose , etc. etc.etc.

You trust science every day of your life. Your computer is made possible by such scientific non-explanations as quantum mechanics, synthetic materials technology, symbolic logic, complex mathematics, etc. The internet connection on which you depend to castigate science so ironically uses digital lasers, optical glass or polymer fibres the thickness of human hair, and so on. This is all dependent on efficient, constant and reliable electricity generation and propogation.
Presumably you like to eat on occasion. Well, guess what? If not for chemistry, evolutionary biology, and so on giving us modern farming technology, pesticides, high-yield crops, meat and animal by-products extraction, and pasteurisation to reduce spoilage of all this food, I can pretty much guarantee you'd be dead in a month.
As for the medical science that you dismiss so readily, when was the last time you took an analgesic to relieve the effects of the demons causing your headache? Or needed dental work or perhaps more serious surgery? There are people in the world today - including my own mother - who otherwise would be dead, or never born, if not for the level of medical science we take for granted today, which even a century ago would be seen almost as magic.
I haven't even touched upon the immense body of science that goes into the mass production technology to make all of the above possible.
I'm too much of a gentleman to label you a selfish bitch for pissing in the fountain of science that gave you the ability to exist in a world in which you could do such a thing and laugh while you do so. I'll simply close by saying this: next time you consider taking so much as an antacid for an upset stomach, try praying instead. Otherwise you're being the hypocrite you present yourself as here.

Oh, we see the circus alright. With you and your fellow clowns running around and tripping over your own feet, what else could it be?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
