Just as we still dont know many things, we dont know why there are so many stars. Why would you expect any human being to know the answer this question? The scientific method used by human beings can not unlock all the knowledge of the universe. And who said that life only exists on this planet. Again i think your allowing the biblical account of creation to cloud you view of creation and the creator. Perhaps if mankind paused and wondered more often abotu the natural wonder of the universe and its ordered behavious, they might realise that this order comes from some core system of rules that they are following. Perhaps human being would study and try to understand these rules. But will the understand what is plain in front of them. That universe is in harmony by following those rules. And perhaps we can have similar harmony by following similar rules for human beings. To some degree the legal instutions that have come to be are formed on the philosphies derived from such reflection of the universe. Perhaps that is there purpose to show us how to achive harmony and to inspire us to do so.
Don if there is nothing special in our existance then why should we define a purpose. Given that we all are aware that we will die some day. Why define a purpose when we know a day will come when a asteroid might destroy us all. If you follow this line of thought one might just say lets give up and not bother. I think you can see the contradiction in this.
