      Have you heard of dark energy and matter?

      No what is it?

      Well, we really don’t know but it’s there. Trust us.

      Sounds made up like some guy coming back to life. Fuck off.

        “Trust us” lol nobody says that. It’s more like “This is our greatest hypothesis to fit the data. If you come up with something better we’d love to hear it”

      Didn’t Pythagoras have a cult or some shit?

      Also, I would say a lot of modern medicine, since the discovery of germ theory, has included a sizeable portion of evangelism. How do you think they got people to start washing their hands or taking antibiotics?
