I think this is a consequence of the fundamental problem with a materialist rationalist view of reality; namely, that when you consider reality to be only physical matter which can broken down into constituent matter and exists as a result of cause and effect, all meaning is stripped from the universe and you're forced to accept the first cause argument. The real problem comes down to what we mean by "truth". Truth can't simply be the accuracy of our models of the material world, because the material world can't tell us anything about how we should act.
