Is this sentence wrong\incorrect?
「苦しみや悲しみが様々な形で存在している世界にとって、「科学」は何の為にありますか？」
("For a world where pain and sadness exist in so many forms, what is the purpose of 'science'?" is more or less what I was trying to say.)

If it is incorrect, please tell me why.

Thank you.回答ありがとうございます、zigokunokazeさん、 Fumioさん。Both of your answers were helpful. I guess this can be considered solved now.

Answer

「苦しみや悲しみが様々な形で存在している世界にとって、「科学」には何の目的があるのか？私が言いたかったのはそれ以上でもそれ以下でもない。」 

疑問が、WhyではなくWhat is なので、「何のために」ではなく「～なのか」がいいと思います。 

あと、Purposeの日本語訳は「目的」がいいと思います。

Answer

文法的正しいと思います。
