Deep thoughts! Thanks for sharing.. I generally agree,m that we probably can't ever know.. So maybe we should create our own purpose?
I really like this question.. "Why does the question why arise?"
I've been asking similar things for a while.. Kinda amazes me I never thought about it so much before, kinda like you mentioned so many people don't really go into the depths looking. Upvoted and I followed you.
Its more that the question leads one in an infinite loop, any answer would lead to more questions. Its like a 5 yr old that keeps asking why, one can ask why? Forever, an answer doesnt solve anything.
Perhaps. Though.. I'm more of the opinion that we just don't have the data to process such. Our couple pound brains are only capable of so much. Some things I just think are beyond our ability to rationalize and make sense of.
I wouldn't say it's impossible to ever know, that's not for me to say.. I would however posit that.. We probably don't even have the required information to be able to properly ask the question in the first place, let alone derive some kind of universal answer from it. I personally think it's beyond our ability and probably always will be. And maybe there is no purpose at all, I don't have an absolute answer for such a confusing existence.
Although I do not agree fully with your statement Science was created to answer the sole question of "why are we here", I do think that Science and the todays Internet stimulates that question for more and more people to ask and try to discover the answer, with one of the results the growing interest in yoga, meditation, spirituality etc. I do think we will not be able to find the answer in our lifetime on our planet (or somewhere else in the universe when we start further exploring the universe and populate other planets).
Amazing to me is that we ALL will find answers after we die; We will know only then if something exist outside our biological body; If we have a mind; If we have a consiousness that survives without our biological body. And the bizare thing is; All of us will get to know, whether we are big bang believers, god as a single entity believers, or whatever believers.

Really good question you ask!
