The heat death of universe is true based on current state of our understanding. Nothing says that it won't change in next million years - that's a monumentally long time in exponential rate of human progress.

We've been wrong about a lot of things in the past and if people had made up their mind about the meaning of life before Kepler, we would have thought that we are the center of the solar system. Therefore, we are the most important thing in the Universe.

Not knowing something is a boon - it rallies optimism that one day we will find what that unknown thing is. Religion does the opposite - not knowing something is replaced by faith and god.

Meaning of life - my personal opinion - is to lead a good life, help humans understand mother nature, how she really works, and give back to the world before we are turned into dust. That's the purpose and I am content with it.
