And the universe, too, faces death. Scientists tell us that the universe is expanding, and everything in it is growing farther and farther apart. As it does so, it grows colder and colder, and its energy is used up. Eventually all the stars will burn out and all matter will collapse into dead stars and [[black hole]]s. There will be no light at all; there will be no heat; there will be no life; only the corpses of dead stars and galaxies, ever expanding into the endless darkness and the cold recesses of space—a universe in ruins. So not only is the life of each individual person doomed; the entire human race is doomed. There is no escape. There is no hope.<ref>[http://www.reasonablefaith.org/the-absurdity-of-life-without-god The Absurdity of Life without God] by William Lane Craig</ref>}}

The atheist [[Jerry Coyne]] admits the meaninglessness of the universe as an implication of an atheistic [[evolution]]ary worldview, but then insists that we can create our own subjective meaning and marvel at the intricacies of nature.<ref>[http://creation.com/review-coyne-why-evolution-is-true Why evolution need not be true]: A review of Why Evolution is True by Jerry A. Coyne Viking Penguin, New York, 2009, reviewed by John Woodmorappe</ref> On the other hand, Coyne said about [[Atheist conferences|atheist meetings]], "But to me the speakers and talks have often seemed repetitive: the same crew of jet-set skeptics giving the same talks." (see also: [[Atheism is uninspiring]]).<ref>[https://whyevolutionistrue.wordpress.com/2011/06/10/are-there-too-many-atheist-meetings/ Are there too many atheist meetings?] by Jerry Coyne</ref>
