If purpose, then why probability?
To summarise my theorage on purpose vs probability as an explanation of our existence;
The Probability Theory would be that by method of trial and error, with enough recurrences -as the probability- of randomised scenarios, progression will occur by default.
The Purpose Theory would dispute that plausibility, since there would need to be infinite universes in order for the required number of recurrences to allow the probability of the required beginning conditions of the universe to occur. Counter conditional to the universe being a random occurrence based on probability, the beginning conditions of the universe would need to occur with an intended cause -or purpose.
On this premise, it would insinuate that some occurrences in the universe would have a purpose, or an intentional cause. Considering humans are the most significant thing we know of in the universe, it could be a safe assumption that we are relevant to that purpose, as it seems unlikely we would occur by fluke, when there is an alternate purpose in the universe. With this assumption, it would explain the specific conditions of the beginning state of the universe, which cause all the following circumstances for humans to exist.
This leads me to the question, why does probability and trial and error seem evident in the occurrences since the start of the universe, if everything could occur directly and intentionally?
If the beginning state of the universe was intentional to cause humans (or any similar conscious-like entity) to exist at some point, it could be done using probability -without direct influence- to allow optional possibilities. It could be done using probability by creating the sufficient physical laws, elements, and mass amount of elements, in order to allow the quantity of recurrences of all necessary progressive circumstances, to outnumber the denominator of probability of each required scenario of advantageous progression.
It would likely be done this way rather than direct influence to allow that aspect of optional possibilities of indeterminisation. Alternatively, if the entire universe and every circumstance of all time, to pertain within, was predetermined, calculated, and directly forced, it seems like purpose would be lost, and occurrence would be unnecessary.

This lack of determinism is what could allow for what we call free will. For humans to have a freedom of choice, our decisions need to be not directly caused.
So the concept of probability is what causes intentional occurrence, within a randomised scenario, when combined with the sufficient conditions and quantity of variables for the initial state to procure the necessary number of recurrences to cause trial and error to implement the progressive conditions.
The variability allows purpose by lack of predetermination, while probability allows purpose by inevitable self-occurrence of basic minimal circumstances.
