It makes sense. In a universe with purpose, we can find meaning. In a universe without purpose, there is no meaning to anything. Any conclusion would be just as meaningless and pointless as any other. So what. Are you trying to argue that it is better to believe a lie that is comforting and makes your feel like your life has meaning than accept the truth which is harsh and says your life is meaningless? This is fleshed out in more detail by Thomas Nagel's "The Absurd."

If science teaches us anything, it is that drawing a ‘final’ conclusion on so great a question is ill advised ... at this time.
