Richard Dawkins on Why asking 'Why' may not always be appropriate

Time 08:28 onwards, Richard Dawkins delivers a masterstroke.

Question: Science does not tell us why we are here. Science does not tell us why the Big Bang happened. Science does not tell us why there was a transition from inanimate matter into living matter.

Dawkins: You're playing with the word WHY there. Science is Working on the problem of the antecedent factors that led to our existence....to ask why in any further sense than that - to ask why in a sense of purpose – is in my opinion not a meaningful question; you can not ask the question why do mountains exist in a sense of purpose , what you can say is what are the causes and factors that lead to the existence of mountains and the same with life and the same with the universe.
