    Religious people: “the world is ending”

    Scientists: “we know”

    Religious people (visibly upset): “now I am not believing it anymore”

      “For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries.”

    Actual scientists: well that’s not what the actual science says it’s actually super complex but sure some people need to believe life is hopeless so they don’t have to think about the future and their legacy as that may require them to live a slightly different lifestyle…

    Doomers: see, the world is ending!
