The one that always fucked with me is the thought that the universe could have been created a millisecond ago with the current quantum state of everything and there's no obvious way to prove it wasn't.
Google "Boltzmann brains". Modern astrophysics currently claims that you're millions of times more likely to be a disconnected brain that spawned from the quantum ether with all your current memories than you are likely to be a real person living on Earth.
If you ever talk to these people in real life, spend a few minutes exploring their views. You can get them to admit they believe some crazy, crazy things. One lady I used to work with eventually admitted that she only believed the vote counts when Democrats won. Any other time there was fraud. This was in 2008.
That mental gymnastics...🤔
Like how Satan buried dinosaur bones to test the faith of young earth creationists?

CUE it's only fair when MY team wins
What a narcissistic world view. Sad.
8.2
That's the score I'd give them for those gymnastics.
