Hypothetically speaking, let's say that there is some kind of inherent meaning in life.

What do you think humanity will probably never discover it?

Essence isn't real.

Like saying "what if TV was the number seven?" It's a useless proposition.

The works of Plato, for example. And the alleged sayings of Christ.

I'm saying they are interesting, not that I fully agree with them.

Meaning is the act of understanding something. Understanding can only exist in an agent, it doesn't make sense to say that understanding exists independent from a conscious being.

So you can't have meaning without an agent. So you cant have an ultimate meaning without an ultimate agent (i.e., a conscious god).

Unless you are god, you can't have ultimate meaning.
