It is because those judgements etc are subjective. Science can indeed tell us every possible way we could make these judgements, and the potential outcomes of any judgement. (We do this all of the time). Science can in fact give you answers as to specific gods and the status of their existence. Your life already has a purpose, at the very least, to carry life further through time. Whatever else you want to add is okay, but understand that it is ultimately an assumption, because again, purpose and meaning are subjective.
Not being able to answer a subjective question to your level of satisfaction is not a shortcoming of science that requires you (or us)to insert a god.
