Of course they do, deep down. But they like to poke fun at those that do. It makes the intelligent 'feel' superior.

I'm not sure I see the point of this thread. People desperately wanting to put their faith in something is hardly a modern invention. It's been around for centuries. What was Hitler? What was Democracy? What was Christianity?

People like to put their faith in things.

Now, if there was some evidence to suggest that was changing, which I would warmly welcome, or perhaps a revolutionary idea to make people not feel the need to 'identify,' then I'd be interested.

Keeping several tonnes of dry goods, having a well drilled in your nuclear-fallout grade bunker equipped with several tankers of fuel and enough guns and ammo to start another Viet Nam? Well, let's just say you may want to invest in some large rolls of industrial stregth aluminum foil to make hats thick enough to keep those alien mind-control rays from affecting the way you think.
I always wonder who they expect their children to marry if they plan to shoot everyone who steps foot onto their property...in the event of a societal meltdown.

You need to take "warmers" out of that group. Man made global warming is an irrefutable scientific fact, not an idiotic, crackpot belief like the rest of them.

Really, so why are more and more people in the scientific community coming out against it?

Also explain the warming of Mars and tell me the sun is not involved..

there could be some money to be made starting up a pre-apocalypse prepper dating site. compatibility would be based partially on belief of the world's end ( political/economic melt down, disease, zombies...... ).
