Belief.....and the purpose of Life?

Me - Am I wrong when I say that the purpose of life has been codified variously as different belief systems millenia ago. And we just try to understand and interpret this as we deem relevant or, as faith. And yet, despite all this time, knowledge and exploration, there is still no unanimity about the genesis of life, whose purpose we seek?.....Strange?
Scientific inquiry has given us evolution, the most recent addition which I think also questions most established belief systems. Bringing matter over mind in this realm!!
Arun - No belief system can tell you the purpose of life. They can only instill faith in you, and, one has to have faith either in God or Oneself.
Theism makes you believe in God. Atheism makes you believe in oneself and agnostics just don't believe in believing!
