Robert Maynard, I didn't claim was meaningless 'as opposed to the universe' but instead just as meaningless as the universe, it may seem obvious to you, but there are still many (religious) people who try to 'paint' life with a meaning.
I was just explaining that it was proven that life can be made without adding a 'soul' and thus all those 'special meaning' theories can finally be silenced with irrefutable proof.

Instead of wondering about an 'intelligent design' behind life, you should notice that this discovery proves that there is no such thing as a 'soul'. As much as people try to deny it, the fact is that life is completely meaningless and now there is proof. Yes, when someone close to you dies, it's completely meaningless, as meaningless as a bunch of atoms ceasing to interact, which is what happens in fact.
