Seconded.
If that was the case, wouldn't it be so that that 'us' -and all the other entities in universe- in the end is to be the part of ultimate purpose itself?
So, assuming any entity's existance to receive whatever this ultimate purpose in the end is, to ask: "Is there a god?" "And will it ever tell me what's going on?" That's all isn't it?
And the answer is NO.

I think there's a main principle in the Universe that could be stated as:
"The purpose of the existence is to enjoy life and if we can't we can think and work to make it possible."
The situation now is that we cannot really totally enjoy life because there's lot of problems (diseases, aging, violence, questionable foods and drinks, the fact that we must work a lot to have a "house" to live, clothing,etc, etc...)
Does this answer your question?
Religions says some "God(s)" created the Universe perfectly and humans "putrified" it or that our "souls" are here to pay some pain for something we could have made in other lifes, in summary that we (humans) are guilty.
Science has a compatible approach: That Nature is perfect and humans only bring pollution (all kinds: chemical, structural, visual, auditive, etc, etc).
I think in another viewpoint/paradigm, that the Universe has a flaw, particularly that there's a flaw in the Physics of the Universe:

No, the purposes for our lives are the ones we invent.
Its impossible to answer "no" since if one advocates that the universe has no purpose, one is simply left with one's own purposes.
IOW the universe becomes the field of action (or a tool) to pursue whatever the hell one thinks is important (the standard avenues being wealth and prestige on the road to enjoyment).

On the contrary: it's perfectly possible to answer "no" since the question was "Do you believe".
inasmuch as one can separate belief from action without being hypocritical
NO , I don't believe
No.
The universe is not congnizant in and of itself so of course it has no purpose. Making up purposes is something only cognizant being do to pass the time.
You are hardly left just with your own though. You can also adopt the purposes of other's, your friends, family, country, social groups, the possibilities are endless.

That is correct. There is no purpose other than the ones we invent.
Thank you.
Now, hopefully, this thread can return to something potentially useful.
(Though, given the base premisses of the OP, I doubt it....)

I think you are confusing things.
One thing is the purpose of our own lifes but the the opening post of this thread refers to which would be the purpose of the existence of the Universe and everything in it.
Of course our own purposes in our lifes will be those we would "invent" only but I think a more general purpose for the entire Universe and all possible living beings could be expressed as I have done:
"The purpose of the existence is to enjoy life and if we can't we can think and work to make it possible."
Of course is not a "revelation" of any kind.
Is just what I think at the end everybody do in the World.
That's not a purpose to the universe, just a creed. One that we invented to make us happy. Not that there's anything wrong with it, I think the freedom to invent a purpose is wonderful.
