I didn't get an anti-science vibe. If anything the scene at the school was a pretty transparent poke at the folks today who seek to take accurate science out of school curricula.
The main professor lied to everyone in order to create the will to work on "Plan B", the frozen embryos. He thought folks would never work on that if they all thought they were doomed.
The evil scientist turned bad because of the extreme isolation and thought that he would never see anyone again. It's a variation of the "space madness" trope from 100 science fiction plots--tired, but not anti-science, in my opinion.
