More terrifying knowing this is really the begging of the end. {{ IMHO}}

You don't have to say IMHO when you're stating settled facts

They largely believe they're the main characters in a universe created just for them by a super being.

Their belief that this is all planned is unshakable. Because the second that's in doubt, so is everything else they believe.

In order to believe in climate change, they have to stop being religious. That's a harder sell. So they stick their heads in the sand and pretend it's all a part of God's plan.

Yeah, this is like the start of the second act, none of this is surprising or not as discussed before ... but at least the overwhelmingly sad second act will be fairly short - the last act however, with no fat lady to sing, will be a long and painful few hundred million years.
