RE: The Meaning of the Universe - Maybe
The universe exists because it exists. It doesn't exist for a reason or to serve some purpose.

The universe exists so I may experience atheistforums.com. I know this, because I'm the center of the universe, and that's what I'm doing.

Fixed that for you - no need for sentient.

Bacteria have been around for about 4 billion years - that is getting on for a third of the age of the universe and only taking into account this planet.

What is obvious is that it wasn't created for us.

'The difference between a Miracle and a Fact is exactly the difference between a mermaid and seal. It could not be expressed better.'
-- Samuel "Mark Twain" Clemens

"I think that in the discussion of natural problems we ought to begin not with the scriptures, but with experiments, demonstrations, and observations".

- Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else! "

- Dr. Donald Prothero
