Even if life can be meaningful without having a purpose, it might still be the case that our lives can only be meaningful if they are ultimately significant in a different way, namely by making a real and lasting difference to the universe, which nihilists claim we don’t and theists claim we might, but only if God exists. The question then is whether it is indeed true (as both nihilists and theists allege) that our lives cannot be meaningful if we all die and eventually no trace of our existence will be left, or in other words that, as William Lane Craig puts it, because we end in nothing we are nothing. Hauskeller argues that it is not true. Our lives would not be more meaningful if we were immortal, nor would they be if our actions had lasting consequences or we were “cosmically significant” in other ways.
