My point is, I am surprised at what appears to me to be an anti-science attitude.
To your point, humans have not been around all that long in the big scheme of things and just might destroy themselves one day, one way or another. Perhaps there is some future space kid in school somewhere looking at earthling remains saying, "Didn't these earthlings understand they were all on that little piece of stardust together?"
As far as we know, we are the only life forms that codify our thoughts and history. I'm not sure how much we learn from them.
"Those afraid of the universe as it really is, those who pretend to nonexistent knowledge and envision a Cosmos centered on human beings will prefer the fleeting comforts of superstition. They avoid rather than confront the world. But those with the courage to explore the weave and structure of the Cosmos, even where it differs profoundly from their wishes and prejudices, will penetrate its deepest mysteries.”
Carl Sagan
