Perhaps when somebody can show me that the universe we live in actually cares about whether there is life or not I might start thinking about "the meaning of life". I see nothing wrong with concluding that I am, at the simplest level, merely a series of vibrations in the various quantum fields. Life is what we make of it; we start with a blank canvas and it is up to us to decide what happens to it.
Our universe is an extremely dangerous place. And the more complex life becomes, the fewer places it can survive and thrive. Humans can only live in a very specific environment - otherwise they need items such as thick coats, scuba gear or, you know, space suits because practically every part of the universe is inhospitable to humans (only about 4-5% of our universe is ordinary matter, i.e. atoms, and must of that is interstellar/intergalactic gas and dust). The Earth is a microscopic fraction of a seemingly endless and uncaring universe. Our universe will continue to exist even if all humans die because it matters not whether humans are around to appreciate it. Sad I know.
