I think, "the meaning of life" wasn't a choice choice to describe what I mean. I don't mean the question: "Is there an intention behind life?" but moreover: "How should we spend our life?"
Referring to the example of my four year old: With every question he gains more knowledge until he will know about things which may seem like unexplainable mysteries today. Somewhere his line of questioning will reach a point, where it's harder to get answers, because no one knows them and he will have to find them himself.
What interests me, are the questions: "Is there some kind of limit, where it's not possible to find new explanations based on empirical facts although there are many questions left?" And in case there isn't one: "Is it possible to answer any/all questions in finite time, whereby the line of questioning would end?"
Do you think, the meaning of life can be found through science?

"What does it mean?" Cannot be answered by science alone. Science seeks to learn the "how" and not the "why."
Imagine the four year old who continually asks "why" to every response you give him. No response will cease his line of questioning.

Well, I guess another question to ask is whether or not we, a finite being, can truly comprehend the infinite?
