Default New Mass Extinction Asteroid Theory!

"The impactor believed to have wiped out the dinosaurs and other life
forms on Earth some 65 million years ago has been traced back to a
breakup event in the main asteroid belt. A joint U.S.-Czech team from
Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) and Charles University in Prague
suggests that the parent object of asteroid (298) Baptistina disrupted
when it was hit by another large asteroid, creating numerous large
fragments that would later create the Chicxulub crater on the Yucatan
Peninsula as well as the prominent Tycho crater found on the Moon."

the giant will collide with planet Earth...

Now while I much entreated God restrained
My wise song, also in my breast again
He put the charming voice of words divine.
In my whole body terror-stricken these
5 I follow; for I know not that I speak,
But God impels me to proclaim each thing.
But when on earth come shocks, fierce thunderbolts,
Thunders and lightnings, storms, and evil blight,
And rage of jackals and of wolves, manslaughter,
10 Destruction of men and of lowing kine,
Four-footed cattle and laborious mules,
And goats and sheep, then shall the ample field
Be barren from neglect, and fruits shall fail,
And there shall be a selling of their freedom
15 Among most men, and robbery of temples.
And then shall, after these, appear of men
The tenth race, when the earth-shaking Lightener
Shall break the zeal for idols and shall shake
The people of seven-hilled Rome, and riches great
20 Shall perish, burned by Vulcan's fiery flame.
And then shall bloody signs from heaven descend--
. . . . .

... saying that dinosaurs were killed with an asteroid of 5
kilometers in diameter. What shall we

O blessed servants
Whom when the Master comes he finds awake!
And they all watch at all times and expect
With sleepless eyes. For it will be at dawn
Or eve or midday; but he sure shall come,
230 And it shall be as I say, it shall be,
To them that sleep, that from the starry heaven
The stars at midday will to all appear
With the two lights as the time hastens on.
And then the Tishbite, urging from the heaven
235 His chariot celestial, and on earth
Arriving, shall to all the world display
Three evil signs of life to be destroyed.

Not any time soon, foolish WartPlugs! Certainly not by 2012.

NASA just launched mission DAWN, and still you claim no Cometh?

Nor can astronomers say when the next catastrophic impact will occur.
They only know that it will happen, sooner or later. The history of
Earth's encounters with asteroids remains largely mysterious to
scientists. They can't even agree whether a huge space rock that hit
65 million years ago killed off the dinosaurs or not. However, now
anyone with a passing interest in the fate of the planet can remove
some of the mystery regarding the effects of the next collision. A new
University of Arizona web page allows visitors to plug in a
hypothetical space rock's size, the visitor's distance from the impact
site, and other parameters to generate an outline of devastation.

According to BBC scientists have launched an online calculator that
works out the effects of an asteroid colliding with Earth. Users can
choose the size and type of space object and the distance they are
standing from the impact site.

The program then calculates the scale of the fireball, the size of the
crater left behind and even even whether the impact will ignite your
clothes.

It is designed to make it easier for scientists to work out the
effects of different types of space collision.

My dear wormwood......... Story continues:

"Gran'Da'dy Asteroid on collision course with earth".

However astronaut Russell Schweickart calls for a $300 million mission
to land a transponder on the asteroid. Signals from the transponder
would be used to pinpoint the asteroid's trajectory and determine
whether it will strike Earth or simply zoom past us.

Friday the 13th is supposed to be an unlucky day, the sort of day you
trip on your shoe laces or lose your wallet or get bad news.

But maybe it's not so bad. Consider this: -Friday the 13th- millions
of people are going to go outside, look up and marvel at their good
luck. A point of light will be gliding across the sky, faster than
many satellites, brighter than most stars.

What's so lucky about that?

all I have to say is that God can move stars at whim and create all of
this with His breath, He can certainly nudge a rock in space if He
wants!
just sayin...

DAWN's an asteroid mission. Do you know the difference, WartPlugs? I
doubt it.

I just heard a prediction of a major earthquake that will change the
Earth's geography. Sometime. Gee, that's a hard one to predict!

DOOM AND GLOOM FOREVER!

This is what? The 1000th prediction of something being seen. NOTHING
WILL BE SEEN ON FRIDAY THE 13TH! BET ON IT, WartPlugs! So, you've
been wrong now for 1000 times? Has anyone else noticed what a LOSER
you are?

Alas, Friday is the 12th. Not this month, fool!
