I'm so sorry cato, it appeared to be very obvious that you didn't get that, as taken in that context all of your questions are clearly answered to me. Let me look at your questions again and see if I can't help clear it up for you.
""shoehorn purpose into it", yet you fail to describe what 'it' is; therefore, meaningless bromide."
"It" is what the OP is talking about about: science.
"'Someone' is a product of his/her environment, yet you miserabely fail in describing who 'someone' is or what the causal environment is; therefore, meaningless bromide."
Someone = the OP. The causal environment being the OP's environment which would be atheistic.
"'They' will open their eyes to avoid a car crash. You didn't define 'they' so the car crash metaphor is left hanging without meaning. Again, meaningless bromide."
"They" = the OP and anyone who's environment influences them to be atheists.
Hope that helps.
