This is just religion, but without even any serious philosophical/theological grounding.

You could say that about any religion given only a one sentence high level summary. “A guy in the sky made us in seven days.” has no serious, philosophical grounding.
Your comment's first half was a kind of freshman nihilism backed up by vague gesturing at science (despite the fact that science can't really answer normative claims or value judgements). You then follow it up with a totally unsupported teleological claim which completely contradicts the paragraph that came before.
It was a Hacker News comment, not a doctoral thesis. People like you are why this site so desperately needs a block feature.
