I’d be more suspicious of a person coming to my door purely just to educate me on cool science things. I wouldn’t be able to shake the feeling that he’s trying to sell me something.

At least with religion I know their game and I know I’m not interested but science that’s interesting.

I’d be more suspicious of them telling me life exists on Venus, specifically. Last I heard it was a hot-ass gaseous atmosphere made of acid. My money is still on Europa.

Good observation - I’ll include that in my notes and come back later with a finer-tuned hypothesis!

Man you don’t need to win the lottery. I’ll do it for a moderate fee.

Great! But I need to win the lottery in order to be able to pay your moderate fee.

Thats why this would never happen. The religious people do it for free or they even pay their organisation.

Wouldnt happen. Scientists are too in love with the possibility they are wrong. Little room for evangelism

Only because they often are… which is what makes science so great. If everything was thought to be correct, what good would testing and new discovery be? The fact that scientists have historically been wrong drives scientists to prove other scientists wrong.

The scientific method:

  • Make a guess
  • Prove yourself wrong, or get someone else to do it
  • Repeat
