We know that there is a fire coming that is going to cleanse this world of ALL unGodlyness

Am I included in "We"? Because I was not aware of this.

This should have been in the General Apologetics forum.

silliest post you've made yet

Since God is the author of everything, then everything would be left.

Next!

I think it depends on the OS the server is running on. If it's a Micro$oft platform, the whole thing is toast, anyway.

That depends on how bad we misquoted him.

Yes, of course, the whole planet earth is going to go up in flames. According to science the last time this happened was 64 million years ago, when a "doomsday asteroid" hit the plantet and 2/3 of the life was destroyed.

So now the KT asteroid impact is direct vengeance of God?  How is it that the Bible missed telling us about this impact?

   John, you are all over the place on your theology and evolution/creationism. Sometimes you are for a young earth, then other times, like now, you are for an old earth.You started this thread by implying that anything about science would be burned away because it was not "of God" but then you post this scientific tidbit.  Have you ever thought of examining your total mental picture of the universe for internal consistency?

JohnR7 you are getting more desperate. an asteroid strike did not ignite the world.It will be destroyed eventually when the sun turns into a red giant,but this will give us several million years yet.

Sulphur, is right an asteroid impact wouldn't ignite the world. It could do a lot of things but only a few things can do what you are talking about, and sulphur, mentioned one of them. When the sun turns into a red giant earth will be "ignited."

Agreed. The damage at the point of impact would be catasrophic, but the fires and impact damage wouldn't be what kills us. I wouldn't want to be anywhere near where it hits, but it wouldn't matter.

It's the dust cloud that'll kill us off. The asteroid will kick up a few billion tons of dust that wouldn't settle for months or even years. The dust cloud will block out the sun. No sun = bye bye most of the life on Earth. Evolution will have to start all over again with some bactereria or something.

Just to give you an example, my house has a good view of NYC. after 9/11, Gound zero was smoking for about three weeks. So we can only imagine what a "Doomsday" asteroid would do. . . and it's not pretty.

Rubbish

"So now the KT asteroid impact is direct vengeance of God?"


Dinosaurs = sinners

Well, I can say for sure that the dinosaurs were firms believers in evolution. *grin*

Natural selection, leastwise.

2 Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

I'd say that the flames would be in the form of complete thermonuclear meltdown of entire cosmos, earth included (In Christ, i.e, His Sovereign Power;  all things hold together, [Colossians 1:17]atomic nuclei included). On Judgement Day, He is going to release that hold for one awful moment and ...well, then all shall be rebuilt, this time, thoroughly cleansed.

Yes, I know that it is gluons, glueballs or whathaveyou, by which nuclei stay together, however where did those 'gluons' et al, come from? Who or what put them there?
