What I don't understand is, in what way the lack of an "ultimate" significance, is an argument for God's existence.
It would be emotionally unpleasant if it was so. Yes, and? The world isn't dictated by how you feel.
It seems to me the "argument" can be stated this way:
There is an unpleasant fact about the world (that I will one day die and my life will not have an eternal significance), but if God existed there wouldn't be such a fact. Therefore: God exists!
Which can be basically boiled down: I don't like it so it can't be true.
None of those are valid arguments.
