The Sodom-Gomorrah catastrophe turned Lot’s wife into a pillar of salt when she stopped running to turn around and look at her former home.  The Tunguska catastrophe wiped out millions of trees in an area that covered over 800 square miles.  What caused these catastrophes?  Can we prevent future asteroids from hitting Earth? 

First, we see what an ancient Sumerian scientist saw at Sodom and Gomorrah.

Researchers: Asteroid Destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah

Tale of devastation

“Then the Lord rained on Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of Heaven; and he overthrew those cities and all the valley, and all the inhabitants of the cities … [Abraham] looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah and toward all the land of the valley, and beheld, and lo, the smoke of the land went up like the smoke of a furnace.”

A clay tablet that has baffled scientists for 150 years has been identified as a witness’s account of the asteroid suspected of being behind the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Researchers who cracked the cuneiform symbols on the Planisphere tablet believe that it recorded an asteroid thought to have been more than half a mile across.

Now, let’s take a look at Tunguska and the future.

U.N. Urged to Take Action Against Killer Asteroids

Associated Press

VIENNA, Austria —  It is disaster planning on a galactic scale: Space experts want to come up with a contingency plan on what to do in case a killer asteroid collides with Earth.

The experts, including former American astronaut Rusty Schweickart, told U.N. officials Tuesday that the international community needs a plan to counter so-called Near Earth Objects in advance of the potential catastrophe.

Deflecting asteroids — or at least evacuating people in areas where they might strike — could save millions of lives.

In my opinion, the formation of this group is long overdue.  I hope that they can give us a solution before we need it.

Catch you on the Backside!
