Science and religion always clash, not sure why though. There is a reason/explaination for everything. All things that were said to happen(for instance, a particular someone walking on water), didn't happen on 'miracle'(not doubting such a thing), it more than likely happned through science, but there is no explaination for how. Just as we have found things to be 'impossible' in the past, we always go on later to find out there was indeed a way to do such a thing, so thousands of years from now we might have a much better explaination of everything and maybe one day before this world is destroyed we might uncover the secret to our existence. We might actually figure out how and why we got here.
Why on earth(expression/lol) would there be an entire planet full of life with complex systems and such for no reason?
And while I won't turn this into an argument about evolution, I will say that evolution doesn't really fall into play anywhere. Most scientifical history is theoretical. There is no proof of the past(after a certain point), so we simply say what we think happened. Do you know how many innocent people have been arrested off evidence from this decade? How accurate could we be with evidence that is centuries old? Think about it.
But really, I think that our existence is purely for us. Not in a greedy/selfish way, but we are meant to enjoy our lives and live peacefully, doing as we wish. We were given complete free will and an amazing capacity for learning and growth. We were placed in a perfectly designed world, where everything somehow works with something else and everything relates to everything else in someway or another.
While the world isn't what we call 'perfect', this isn't really any one person's(/being(aka, the 'Creator')) fault. If you are religous than you would know that everything was what we would call 'perfect' a very long time ago(in the begining), but things have changed, thanks to our free will. Some people just freely choose to do things that might affect someone else negatively. We can't control that. That's why it's free will.
So while some will say a life in which you basically have no real goals to accomplish is meaningless, other will see that it is really just about you(once more, not in a greedy/selfish way). If you are happy in the end then it doesn't matter. You lived a perfect life. Whatever you can do to make you happy, that is just up to you. For some, it is doing good and helping others, for others, it might be the oppisite, and for some, it might be to lay around and play WoW all day. It really doesn't matter. We were given the ability to choose what we want. We are here solely for ourselves(for the most part, we actually were given some rules and guidelines, but for some reason not everyone wants to follow them...).
And there is my rant
