One day the sun will grow, and swallow up our home, destroying all we own, with pleasure I will groan.

rather die like that in few bill years than have our planet earth corrupted and destroyed by humans.

And this leads to nihilism since Science and Materialism's true message is that life is meaningless and humans are a insignificant race heading towards inevitable destruction which our final solution is to put a bullet in our heads since whats the fucking point to everything? At least Howard Phillips Lovecraft (the creator of the Cthulhu Mythos) was one of the people who realize Science and Materialism's True Nature of a bleak cold existence if you really asked yourself "why we're here"...

It is nihilistic. But lovecraft was also a racist.

I don't agree with that sentiment of wanting the world to end, at least not fully. It is a common thing for those who stare into the abyss that is the crimes of humanity to want it all to end, immediately.

Behold the power of negative thinking :(

Science has no "message" numbnuts, it's a way of looking at the world.

It is up to us as a species, not some external agency, to add meaning and purpose to existance.

Sorry but the conclusions you draw from this are complete rubbish. While science & materialism has no message the aims and ideas of those that follow them is uplifting. To go from our state of "insignificance" (loaded, by the way - significance is, ultimately, relative.) to a one of, hopefully, power (this will only happen through cooperation). Much more uplifting than the mystics message of "live in your own filth and answer any curiosity with either "god alone knows" or "goddidit".

-Mysticism doesn't have to be theological or otherwise superstitious (though it often is, your statement discredits many mystical philosophers who are not superstitious)

-You're right that science doesn't lead to nihilism. Contrarily, I think that studying nature is one of the most life affirming things you cna do, and the only way to give significance to our own existance.
