Purpose presupposes sentience. Rocks have no purpose other than being
a rock, if one can call that a purpose. I can't. But sentient
creatures can have purpose. Purpose I believe is a choice, at least
in creatures of higher intelligence, and since we are the highest
intelligence in the known universe we have the greatest ability to
create and choose purpose, which we do. Our purpose -- at least as
far back as cave art -- is self defined, and given that much I suspect
ever since our minds became elevated above all others we have chosen
our own purpose.
