  1. Indeed there is an apocalypse under every "scientific discovery" which will be supplanted by another type of apocalypse in a few years...but for some reason we think the latest discovery is more scientific than the last one. Its the secular version of the rapture and millenialism.

  2. If I remember some other predictions of those days we should be killing each other about now as the explosion of the population bomb made resources scarce with widespread starvation etc., etc....
