Atheism turns out to be too simple. If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning…

— C.S. Lewis

Being that you agree with this nonsense of a quote, I would like to ask:  what is the meaning of the universe?  Take your time; I’m sure you can pray and have god tell you an answer that even I find satisfactory.  Or, perhaps not.  I’ve seen this quote many times and I’ve still to see anyone provide a description of this ambiguous meaning he referred to.  Just to clear, he’s implying meaning; it isn’t explicit in the text.  His argument is basically asking:  where did the notion of a meaningless universe come from?  It’s analogous with:  how does one conceive of darkness if light does not exist?  Basically put, he’s saying that we only conceive of a meaningless universe because the universe actually has meaning.
