Let's skip to the chase, do you believe life is the result of random chemical events, that our lives are without meaning, and we are purely mechanical results of chemical processes. If so, what basis if any do you have for ethics, philosophy, meaning of life, even science?

No.
Science is not equipped to derive the meaning of life.
The problem as I see it is that people are demanding metaphysical answers from physical science.
Science is a means, but not an end. It is simply a tool for describing the physical world.
However, it does not by itself answer philosophical questions like ""why are we here?"
I fail to understand why people demand ethical and philosophical answers from the physical sciences. I speculate it may be because of a perceived lack of ethics and morality in today's world that some people are demanding moral and ethical answers from science. But then, this begs the question what is the purpose of faith if your seeking moral answers from science?
Truly, this is mixing up apples and oranges.
