Elven, what have we accomplished? If we are able to determine what processes created the universe, we are then better able to see and understand those processes happening across the galaxy and perhaps one day stand a greater chance of finding either a planet that might sustain us long after our own one fizzles out, or even, a place where another race of intelligent life might have sprung into existance. Those two laudable goals aside, it's just our nature - and must be in the nature of intelligent, technology capable life.
Finding out the methods by which nature operates allows you better control and prediction over nature. No we might not be able to work out exactly, nor proove one way or another what caused the big bang, but the process of trying to find out will bring us (and has already brought us) all sorts of practical and applicable knowledge in the meantime.
