Evolution and Creationism

[PerennialPhilosophy]

What does it say about consciousness that I can apply meaning to it? That is an innate part of being human. We are made of the universe and we give it meaning.

I honestly don't understand the "What does it say about consciousness that I can apply meaning to it?". Sorry I might be the problem in this case.

When you say "We are made of the universe and we give it meaning." what do you mean when you say that we are made by the universe? Who is the universe? Do you imply the universe is a being/intelligent/a creator? And yes we do give it meaning, but like I said the meaning we give it is realistically literally insignificant and random. We are just chemical reactions/matter just like everything else, we are not (life isn't) in a miracilous way more special than our sun, the Andromeda Galaxy, a burning fire or cats. I am saying this because it seems like you are assigning a special meaning to the universe like I said earlier.

We are a part of existence. The universe is and so are we. What makes it insignificant? What does it say about existence that we can have thoughts about meanings that do not exist? Just because everything is made of constituent parts, does not make the whole any less insignificant. Everything that exists is made up of smaller pieces and helps to form something bigger. If one thing is significant then everything is. I am assigning special meaning, it is something humans do. You are applying a special meaning when you say it is insignificant. That is what humans do.
