Cheers Chokmahiel,
I don't think there's any meaning outside of God. My position is that there is no meaning at all in a universal sense. I'm not sure what you mean by destiny, are you using it to cover determinism? I would never say for example that it is the destiny of black holes to attract matter or the destiny of squirrels to climb trees, the word destiny here is a bit loaded and implies a sort of teleological ordering and framing of things that I don't believe. If you mean destiny in the sense of X, Y and Z happens then yes, that's mundanely true. I don't think anyone who believes in the big bang or evolution elevates it to 'a meaning of life' - it's just observed reality; there's no higher power necessary which reminds me of Laplace and to Napoleon with his famous 'it works well enough without that hypothesis' referring to his celestial mechanic model and the absence of God.
As for your point about evolution, it is a fact - it is rock solid and the evidence is overwhelming, there is no debate there. I know it's true myself and will happily provide loads of evidence if you like. There is no evidence which stand against it. You've been misled - not a single part of it has been even so much as thrown into doubt, it has made predictions - every branch of science that it encompasses it has borne it out with resounding confirmation.
