"Either it's full of meaning...or it's not."

Not really... unless you suggest that a "Divine Creator" defines meaning.

In the case of humans, WE supply meaning in as many forms as there are people. Turtles & cats and dachshunds don't contemplate meaning...(though I seem to remember certain folk attributing meaning to dachshund's behavior.)

*I* have feelings about what is meaningful... as does Pete... and a few billion others. Some even superficially agree about some aspects. We don't KNOW what happened before there was 'Being', nor how we got it... and it is not for me to say there was NOT a Creator... it just makes no sense to make guesses....especially when certain guesses begin being applied in controlling ways to everyone's life.
