I heard they say it's no purpose, that we don't even have a free will.
But who believes them?

evolution is mutation with natural selection. if you need to put a "purpose" on it, thats basically saying the purpose is to survive. basically everyone and everything has a great sense of survival in them. and maybe someone could add the concept of reproduction. why else are we typically compelled to reproduce -> further survival of ourselves in a sense.

Evolution doesn't even address the issue. That's the kind of thing philosophers can argue over.

All biology only has the purpose to live and make more of your species. That's it.

It doesn't.
All it does is describe reality. Descent with modification through natural selection. Mutation and death shaping the phenotypes of all species - damn those evil scientists, huh?
You're a good example of a theist -
'Science is no good! They don't even tell us what to think!'

???
What does evolution have to do with that? It's a bit like consulting the bible how to make hollandaise sauce - totally unrelated fields.
