Catastrophism Ping.
I know I'm being picky, but there's an implication that the impact threw debris out of our solar system, out of our galaxy, and out across the universe. That's ... ah ... impressive. Snort.
All this supposed whirling around is making me nauseous.
Another opinion:
Munir Humayun, an associate professor in FSU’s Department of Geological Sciences and a researcher at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, co-authored a paper, “Partitioning of Palladium at High Pressures and Temperatures During Core Formation,” that was recently published in the peer-reviewed science journal Nature Geoscience.
The paper provides a direct challenge to the popular “late veneer hypothesis,” a theory which suggests that all of our water, as well as several so-called “iron-loving” elements, were added to the Earth late in its formation by impacts with icy comets, meteorites and other passing objects.
This is ‘science’
I’ve always suspected there are occasional mass bombardments like this, and it will be a bad day when it happens again.
Think of how fast the earth itself is rotating and you’ll puke.
Like it or not, we are all in God's hands.

Strong on science. God more by implication.
That’s nice. Science is an illusion.
This needs to be passed on to Nancy Pelosi immediately so that legislation requiring human measures to stabilize the sun’s movement through the galaxy can be passed. The bulk of the human measures can be implemented by the wealthy countries because the poorer countries can’t afford to do it and the wealthy countries got their wealth by exploiting the poorer countries. We need to act now. The world can’t wait!
How do you tell the difference between a rotating earth and a rotating universe?
So is the way by which your sentance came to me.
“That’s nice. Science is an illusion.”
Sure it is. Go find a nuclear warhead, sit on it, and set it off. Enjoy the “illusion”.
Science is the least illusory of human endeavors. It is solely concerned with understanding how the “real world” works. Much of the rest of human activity is concerned with actively avoiding or denying those same realities.

I usually start with Occam’s Razor... ;-)
