Does the concept of purpose apply to species lower than humans or only to humans? If it does apply then at what level does it stop, sheep, fish, plans? And in case it stops at some level or only applies to humans is this definition based on the species having a spirit or a soul as some body may suggest, or is it based on having a certain level of consciousness? If it's based on the concept of a spirit or a soul then it's a matter of metaphysics and faith. If it's based on consciousness and we are talking in terms of the physical universe in which we live, then by definition purpose would be an invention of the human mind and it would be a matter of definition and how we view the world and view ourselves in it but it would be anything but a universal metaphysical thing on which we all could agree especially that it would look entirely different in the eyes of a more advanced species than our selves.
