>some scientists say
Don't care.
>obvious conclusion to that, which is "humanity has no greater purpose"
Where we originated doesn't necessarily have any bearing on what our "purpose" is and a lack of "intrinsic purpose" doesn't mean you can't develop your own purpose.
This is like baby's first epistemological crisis and people have been discussing these things for about as long as humanity has existed.
But it's not science. It's philosophy.
>science and philosophy are currently in a bubble separated from each other
As they should be.
What you fail to understand here is that they are fundamentally different tools meant to do fundamentally different things.
You're not gonna use a hacksaw to drive a nail nor will you use a hammer to cut wood. And any attempt to merge these tools together just results in an abomination that's less capable of doing either task.
Let science do science stuff. Let philosophy do philosophy stuff. Don't try to make one do the job of the other.
