Obviously if there is a God with the capabilities we usually ascribe to "Him" (Her/It/Them) "He" could devise a universe that "naturally" produces the results that He wants (whatever they are). In that sense the universe would have a purpose. But that is entirely a matter of faith. From a natural (scientific) perspective within the universe, there appears to be no such purpose. Creationists generally argue that there IS natural evidence of such a purpose, which makes their argument contradictory to current science.
