Even if that purpose is to filter O2 to CO2 or to be a link on the food chain, living implies being and being is purpose. If you're saying emphatically no purpose at all exists I'm going to have to ask for some serious citations of logic and reason.
No - you cannot, and your limited view of assigning 'purpose' proves just that. There is no purpose because of definitions - you cannot objectively assign purpose to life. Not to mention, your argument reminds me of utilitarianism, as it arbitrarily assigns 'purpose' with no consideration for change or growth.
There is no purpose by definition of biological life alone. I've laid out consistent groundwork in my previous posts and I am using established definitions to make my case.
