1.) Yes, I do.
2.) No.Why should it be?
3.) Yes, we are, even without any free will.
4.) As long as the science is assumed as the expert there's no way to escape form its criteria of "the correctness".

Yep.

2.) Do you believe that there is some ultimate meaning or purpose to human life?

Yep.

3.) Do you believe that everyone is morally responsible for him or herself?

Yep.

4.) Is the scientific account of the world essentially correct?

Sorta, kinda, mebbe.

Of course.

1 Yes 2 Yes 3 Yes 4 If by scientific you mean Newton's science, no. If by scientific you mean Descartes, Husserl, Bergson, Austin etc, then yes. I believe this is the crux of the matter, that physical science has to change (and Schelling's efforts did nothing towards this goal).
