The first is best -- or worst -- epitomized by those poor folks in California several years ago who, when the Hale-Bopp comet blazed overhead, saw that as a precursor of their millennium.
The followers believed that they were leaving their ``containers'' - or bodies - to catch a ride on a spaceship trailing the Hale-Bopp Comet to reach a new level of existence.
Indeed, watching the Hale-Bopp comet blaze its fiery path across what usually seems an unchanging firmament, the layperson is forcibly reminded of what the scientist is daily made aware of: that this creation is not a fixed and determined machine, devoid of chance or significant incident, but an ongoing miracle of which we are a part.
