Things that trigger scientists:
>When you try to talk about science but you don't understand what you're talking about
This pisses them off because they realize that when they've died they'll no longer be the smartest person or get credit for all their work and a bunch of idiots will be left behind with the fruit of their labor.
>When you say the universe is too complicated
This makes them realize the theory of science makes no sense as a whole explanation of the universe, so they pretend everything is simple, but if so, explain how
>When you complain about how hard it is
This makes them realize their hard work will be forgotten when they go to the after life and are judged by how good of a Christian they were.
