In Lovecraft’s stories even men of science and reason describe weird stuff as “blasphemous”. Blasphemous against who, buddy? You just discovered something new in the natural order and it’s a bit much, but what’s it blaspheming against?

Also, Lovecraft’s anxieties about the scientific and technological advances of his time. The discovery of Pluto shows there are worlds outside our normal ability to observe and that’s a bit freaky actually!! Battery-powered flashlights let you see things in the dark best never discovered!!! Etc
