It's a strange way to state it, but I have no problem admitting that life has no apparent independent purpose. It is just shit going on. It can only be assigned an arbitrary purpose from any particular viewpoint. It's easy to understand how a lot of people find religion appealing to fill this void.

I think you are assigning agency to evolution, evolution is just a description of what happens. It didn't design us, nor give us a purpose. And it has no purpose or intent of its own.
Feel free to send me a private message.
