 Science doesn't state anything without verification; no need to revert to 'supernatural' explanations for things that it cannot (yet) explain, like primitive man has done for so many years. I do like the humanitarian aspects of e.g. the Church but again, no need for supernaturalism. 
 Science cannot answer questions like “why am I here?” or “what is the meaning of life?” or “what should I do while I am here?”

These are firmly the domain of the philosophies and faith. There is nothing empirically observable about it. Science tells us what is, not why it is. 
 there simply is no 'why' or 'meaning' (why would there nees to be); don't worry about it 
 "The Science" is a religion. 
 no, the opposite 
 Do you not understand linguistics either? 
 you're grasping at straws
