Did Asteroid And Comets Turn The Tide Of Civilization?

[LibWhacker]

You have to wonder how well modern civilization would stand up to something like that today. If the bollide were large enough, then obviously, no. But would we cave under exactly the same pressure that did in the ancients? Personally, I think not. We would understand what was happening to us and if we could maintain our infrastructure, we could weather the famine and plague. But let's not test it, okay? :-) Earth probably really does need a space shield.
