I don't see you you know in every window I look through and I don't miss you you're not in

I don't miss you you're not in every single thing I do I don't think we're meant to be and you

I love the missing piece I won't hear it whenever anybody says your name and I won't feel it even when I'm

bursting into flames I don't regret the day I left I don't believe that I was blessed I'm probably

lie into myself again this is interesting down at the bottom.

Mm-hmm.

But is not the universe meaningless for atheist?

Crane thinks so.

He calls himself a pessimistic atheist. That that is he holds that the universe might have

had it been created by God but since there is no God the universe has no meaning

exactly I mean this is the point that I have made over and over again is that if atheism is true

then there is no objective meaning to life or the universe and Crane affirms this boldly.

Well Keith continues how then can atheist claim as I do to find meaning, indeed religious meaning in the universe, especially when on other

occasions we will say that the universe is meaningless. Is this not simple confusion?

When I, and I think many other atheists, denied that the universe has meaning,

what we intend to say is that not viewing the universe is created,

we do not see it as having been made with any

sort of specific function, telos, plan, or purpose. The universe is not like a

house or car, something made for a specific purpose to perform specific functions.

Neither do we see the universe as in any sense pervaded by those qualities that give human life its particular meaning, qualities such as love,

intelligence, morality, compassion, and consciousness.

The universe does not give a damn about you, it cannot.
