What is your position on teleology? Do you think that there is a cause
or
purpose for everything?
Also, what do you think of this:

Does God's existence have a purpose, set by a supergod? If you're happy
with the
idea of God not being created for a purpose, then why insist that the
universe
is created for a purpose, and why insist that humans are created for a
purpose
rather than (as presumably is the case with God) inventing their own
purpose?
--Stathis Papaioannou
Valid question. However, imagining the reason for God would be speculative
at best
as nobody knows anything about God, nor can we observe God. However, the
observable
universe/multiverse/creation seems to be purpose-built and the scripture
also speaks
of a purpose-built creation.

The multiverse doesn't seem to be purpose built, it seems to be random.
--Stathis Papaioannou
If it's purpose built, the purpose must be to let dark matter form clumps.

appear that God has an inordinate fondness for stars and beetles.”
