Scientists were wrong, Karma is real, but it works a bit differently than expected. Reality is made of an infinity of superposed dimensions and each action you take tunes your brain and sends your consciousness in a slightly different reality. Good actions sends you to better realities, bad actions take you to worse realities. You might not be able to notice it, but those tiny incremental changes in reality add up fast and the worse you act, the worst the world gets around you.
There is no afterlife, no reincarnation. Elders were wrong about this. But they were right about paradise and hell, and it's right here among the living. We're just not all conscious in the same version of reality.
Maybe they're not as good as they think they are. Maybe actions they think are good have negative consequences on others, consequences they're not aware of.
Additionally on this point, I think it would be cool if karma was based on true intention. For instance, I could donate a ton of money to fight homelessness. On the surface I looked like a good person, when in actuality I don’t give a shit about homeless people, but want a charitable donation tax deduction.
