Forgive my ignorance here. I am a full time student and have not been
able to follow this as closely and as carefully as I should have. But I
am curious about this asteroid impact thing. I am assuming that you are
speaking in reference to the "Noaish"(?) flood. You are somehow
connecting a massive bombardment of asteroids with the flood.

I am probably missing something here, but how do you tie this in with
the bible. Where is the biblical support for such an event?
