Summary

This quote by C.S. Lewis suggests that atheism, the belief that there is no higher power or ultimate meaning to the universe, is overly simplistic. Lewis argues that if the universe truly had no meaning or purpose, humans should not possess the capability to understand and acknowledge this lack of meaning. It insinuates that the very act of recognizing the absence of meaning implies that there is some inherent meaning or purpose to be discovered, thereby challenging the notion of atheism as a comprehensive explanation of existence.
