You ever get the feeling that we have done this before?

If this were proven to be true, it would definitely be an “inconvenient truth.” Let’s see Algore do something about comet debris...

The new idea is that these massive cultural disasters were caused by the impact of comets or other types of cosmic debris on the Earth.

If that were the case there would be massive impact craters that are somewhat fresh.

Where are they?

Now, why would you say that? (LOL)

Here's one that was discovered after Saddam drained the swamps of the Swamp Arabs.

Where are they? [craters]

Tunguska was a 40Megaton blast, and left no crater. Lots of this type of event across a wide area would be devastating, but leave no craters.

They are just getting ready to go and do more research in the area with deep diving robots.

You said — “God does not play dice” (or some words to that effect)

But, God does send judgement, and during the 7-year time period, which is referred to as the Tribulation, the Bible says that God dispenses all the judgement that He has “stored up” since the time of creation. In other words, God has not dealt out the full judgment of what was due, from that time to now, saving it up until this one time period.

And the following is just part of what is due, at that time period. This sounds like more of the same kind of thing, as above, except that it’s larger than all before, as it’s also accompanied by a whole series of judgements before and after this event (described below)...

Revelation 8:7-13

7 The first angel sounded: And hail and fire followed, mingled with blood, and they were thrown to the earth. And a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.

8 Then the second angel sounded: And something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood.

9 And a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.

10 Then the third angel sounded: And a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water.

11 The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the water, because it was made bitter.

12 Then the fourth angel sounded: And a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them were darkened. A third of the day did not shine, and likewise the night.

13 And I looked, and I heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, “Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the three angels who are about to sound!”

We’re not too far off from that time period (things lining up in the Middle East). And so it goes...

Star Traveler

Yeah, but how recent are those is the question.

We have craters up and down the east coast that are called, "bays" but are they as recent as the Bronze Age?

Good point. I thought of that after my original post.

Carolina Bays. There are 500,000 of these along the US east coast.

Some are rather large. Lake Waccamaw and Lake Madamuskeet in NC are pretty big.
