WOAH, WOAH!!!. You said no miracles and now you have God altering the paths
of the asteroids. You are contradicting yourself. Either the asteroids
followed natural laws invented by God or they didn't. They can't do both at
the same time.

And a few months ago, I pointed out to you, I believe, that asteroid impacts
would over heat the earth and burn everything up. And you argued strongly
that God would NOT follow natural law. When it is convenient for you, you
try to follow natural law. When it isn't you proclaim a miracle and then
claim you are following natural law (which of course you are not doing at
all). The impact at the KT boundary was just about enough to sterilize the
earth. Nothing larger than a dog lived through it. And according to your
theory, man would have to live through it, yet there is no evidence of
mankind at that time. And man is bigger than a dog.

So why are you calling it a miracle by appealing to God to alter the course
of the meteors and then ignoring the laws of energy set up by God which, IF
FOLLOWED IN A SERIES OF SHORTLY SPACED ASTEROID IMPACTS would burn up and
kill everything on the planet? You are not following the laws God invented
at all. YOu only do it when it fits your purpose and when you think no one
is watching, you ignore those laws again. You are the most inconsistent YEC
I have seen to date.
