I wouldn't laugh at those old scientists
We still have huge organizations with billions of members in the world that believe their saviour is going to come back soon, destroy the world, dragons, demonic horsemen, fire, brimstone, people magically disappearing and rising up to heaven and everyone else getting thrown into a lake of fire.
And some of their more fanatic believers control the worlds largest economic military powerhouse. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Must be doing something right.
Joke's on them - George R. R. Martin ain't coming back.
You laugh... but isn't some of that happening right now?!
Some of that has been happening, to varying degrees, since about the dawn of humanity.
