Default What are some of the main flaws in this argument

, Either our universe arose spontaneously or it was created intentionally

,,,,, If it arose spontaneously, it has no purpose, for the purpose of an object is to fulfill the intent with which it was created

,,,,, If it was created intentionally, then the universe that created it was either created intentionally or arose spontaneously

,,,,,,,,,,The "root" or initial universe in this chain had to have arisen sponatenously, for if it had been created intentionally, there would have had to be a creating universe around, which would precede the created one and defeat its claim to being the "root" universe.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Therefore the "root" universe, having arisen spontaneously, has no purpose. Therefore, as a subset of the "root" universe, our universe has no purpose. Therefore life has no purpose; in fact, life can not possibly have any purpose.
