Here's what I think of life - after the big bang and particles came about, they began to form matter by way of the four fundemental forces (and probably other things.) Matter became more complex, and led to life and intelligence. Life and intelligence led to technology. So basically, from the big bang onward the particles of the universe go through an evolution, starting off as just individual particles, and eventually after forming mattter and life, come to a stage were they no longer have to rely on the forces of nature and can now reassemble themselves. But to do what? Why would all the particles of the universe try to reach a point where they could reassemble themselves? That's basically the same as asking what the purpose of life is. I would say one of the main purposes of life seems to be to survive and reproduce. So perhaps you could say the particles of the universe want to survive in their form/state. They clump together to form matter, then clump together to form intelligence, so that they can rearrange themselves at a better rate to ensure their survival. Or perhaps there is some other reason they reach a state where they can rearrange themselves, other than survival.

I know this doesn't explain much of anything, but I thought it was an interesting line of reasoning.
