It is a tool to discover how things work on the surface, find out about the mechanics of the world. But it does not claim to answer anything else. I, personally, do not believe in a universal meaning of the world. This is because human beings are so vastly different that I cannot imagine a sufficient answer for the question "what is the meaning of life" that would truly fit all. As you say, humans can never perceive the world in a completely objective way. We can ask science questions, but the answers we get will be truths, not advice. Therefore, it must be possible to believe that while science may hold the objective truths, the 2+2=4s, and even explanations for why certain emotions exist, there is no reason we should think of them as meaningless. I completely forgot where I was going with this, but one of the points I was attempting to get to was that even though science can tell you why you feel happy, why and how the taste of strawberries or the sound of music can make you feel euphoric, there is no reason to not fully experience and appreciate those emotions and give meaning to your own life in any way you want, even with the belief that there is no God and everything is atoms.
