Sure, you could explain on a moleculer level why it is pigmented red and how our eye percieves the visible light as red, but you wouldn't have explained the purpose of red. You could explain it via natural selection in conjunction with bee's eyes, but that wouldn't apply to the singularity. If I draw a random card from a deck you can't explain the purpose drawing that card at that time, unless I give it one. There is no objective purpose for it. There is a point at which one must differentiate between a cause and a reason (both of which could fall under why). Chance cannot create anything in and of itself, but if you put chance into a scenario, then, given enough time, an unlikely outcome may happen by chance. Also, almost nothing is truly random; there are predictable laws of physics to follow.
