Too funny, NL is introduced to the long debunked Watch Maker argument, presented by two bumbling novices and all of a sudden "the jig is up".

That is a "hard truth". If you choose to go that direction.
But if one chooses to believe in a creator/God, then meaningful purpose enters into the picture. And that hard truth of nihilism, which I think you're referring to, becomes less of a threat.

I think MG is suggesting there is only one true "purpose", and that is to become like God. Purposes such as "learning to love", or "pursuing truth" could be nice but, but ultimately dissatisfying. But I could be wrong.
