Then you say "the purpose of a being of any given species is to procreate".
So what are we arguing about? What does the last question have to do with anything?
And as for the other guy's question, scientifically a sound is the second definition. This is obvious and shouldn't have to be mentioned. The other definition exhibits blatant anthropocentrism.

Human beings are really only capable of anthropocentrism. It is in our individual nature to only be concerned about OUR point of view. Seriously, how do you think we go this far without being anthropocentric. For you to throw that out there like a challenge is simply ridiculous.
If our ONLY purpose is to replicate copies of our DNA, why did we make the jump from HG groups to small cities 10 000 years ago? It increased disease, calories available decreased, and the death rate, especially among children shot up.
