If you read, for example, Archimedes, you will find that the thinking was the whole universe was small enough to fall within what we now would have be the orbit of Saturn.Believing that we have an existence beyond the physical universe and being subject to a transcendent God is not egotistical. The universe is all a manifestation of God. There is no part of the universe that is more important than another.
Under such conditions, maybe, having 'transcendent meaning' might make some sense.
But today, we know the Earth is one small planet orbiting a rather dull star in one of billions of galaxies. Thinking there is some transcendent meaning that includes us seems rather egotistical to me.
Oh, please.
The universe is a manifestation of nothing. The only reason why you think it is and there is something beyond is because YOU want to have something to look forward to and like to think YOU mean something to somebody important.
What a egocentric ignoramus moron.

I just think I'm a person - no more special than anyone else. Who do you think you are?
Just How special do you think anyone else is?
Let me tell you, many of them are far more special than you, and yet not one of them, not a single one, ever, not your Jesus if he ever existed, not even people whom humanity can be most proud of, is special enough such that the reality would make even the absolutely the least possible accommodation whatsoever for their particular favorite kind of sense.
