I vehemently disagree with you.
Why does a lack of God rob you of meaning? Doesn't it take more imagination to give yourself meaning than it does to get it from some external source? Especially if you get it from some badly written book... I think discovering the strange and bizarre properties of the universe to be more exciting than reading the Bible over and over again. All the attributes you assign to science I would give to religion, instead...
What do you consider "the most profound questions?"
What's really strange about your opinion is that it's quite unique, even among theists. While pious people obviously feel the same way about God and religion as you do, few of them see science the same way you do. Most see science as the creative endeavor that it is, as well as a means for helping us live our lives. When did you first establish this opinion of science? How did it come about?
