A dollar found spends the same as a dollar given.
You;re only telling us that -you- wouldn;t find any meaning in all of those oh so meaningful things in a godless universe. Well....I have some bad news.......................but first I;d like to make sure that you have any sharp objects in your home locked up..and that you've thrown away the key.
You are simply wrong and continue to conflate the two kinds of meaning. One is derived and the other is found in the reason for human existence.
If your answer to "why we have these properties" is some sort of version of dumb luck, then humans have no reason for existing and definitionally, no existential meaning to that existence. The distinction is clear because when a Christian answers the same question, you can get books full of answers.
