This life's meaning is only realised if you were a creation with a CNS allowing you to be conscious.
I wasn't created, I came about by natural causation, just like everything else except existence as such. That is eternal.
Meaning is something that applies only to concepts and symbols. I'm guessing you mean by 'meaning' either purpose or value. If it is purpose then I am the purpose giver. If you mean value then I am responsible for that too. Life is the ultimate value but like all values, it has to be earned.
