The orbital path of Comet Swift-Tuttle, which passes perilously close to crossing Earth's actual path around the Sun. While there is no danger to Earth for at least ~2400 years, the meteors from the cometary debris will grace our skies every year for the foreseeable future. [HOWARD OF TEACHINGSTARS]

A comet MAY have "created" the Perseids, but God created man.

HE owns us and will not allow another creation of His destroy US.

OUR destruction is self imposed and supernatural in origin

Well, that’s the price you pay for all those pretty light shows.

“Each orbit contains, on average, a 0.000002% probability of the comet hitting Earth. This might seem small, but it’s six times greater than your odds of winning the Powerball.”

What this tells us about Powerball is more interesting than what it tells us about a cometary catastrophe.

We are all going to die in 10 years from “climate change” anyway. So what difference at this point does it matter!

Lol. The Asteroid strike that supposedly killed the dinosaurs is only conjecture. The dinosaurs took several million years to die out, it wasn’t overnight. And they had been declining for millions of years before the suspected strike. It’s like other unproven ideas, like “left brain, right brain”. These things take on a life of their own. But they aren’t factual.

But did not debris from the Taurid stream lead the the worldwide cataclysm 12,800 years ago? I’ve read debris from the Taurid stream could happen at any time the earth is exposed to that stream

Y’know, if you just agree to pay a 3% tax on your carbon usage, government will prevent this from happening!

Is there a GoFundMe where we can help the comet?

Jesus actually ends up sorting humanity into the sheep and the goats. A word to the wise: don’t be one of the goats.

The world will burn up then. Like a soiled minivan, it will need burning.

Then there is the 155k wide C/2014 UN271 (Bernardinelli-Bernstein) comet that could also get kicked as it approaches the gas giants and come this way eventually. Just like the 10K strike was not alone so perhaps these will not be alone either in striking the Earth. And who knows what smaller, undetectable rocks are traveling with them?
