did you know the bible talks about a meteorite crashing into earth that science will call Wormwood?

Question

The bible may seem silly to Atheist but much of what has been said in the bible has come to pass.

I think the mystery meteorite that hit Peruvian village is a great example that this revelation is very possible.

If atheist don't want to believe that fine, but Christians need to start being real Christians and bringing as many to the fold as possible.

Jesus may be coming any time.

Here is the story for every one to read about the meteorite.

Answer 2

You are seriously that ignorant that you think that atheists believe that? The ONLY theory I've heard that involves a meteorite causing life on earth was from Fred Hoyle, who actually wrote a book on it, called Lifecloud. His theory was that a meteorite impacted the earth, but it didn't 'make life come into existence'. Rather, the meteorite carried small microbes and this contaminated the earth. He did a sequel to this book, called Diseases from Space, in which he hypothesised that many diseases we get regularly are introduced from space. The last one is not really an idea mainstream science takes seriously. Fred Hoyle doesn't believe in evolution. He's an astrophysicist, and he's a scientist many creationists cite as not believing in evolution. But evolution is not his area of expertise. He studies space, not evolutionary biology. And he openly derides evolution. Of course what you've said is absurd -- because most atheists wouldn't believe that. Now, I live near a town called Murchison, and back in the sixties, a big meteorite fell down at Murchison, in Meteorite Street, in what's called Meteorite park. Right now, there are chunks of this meteorite at universities all over the world, and scientists are examining the meteorite and finding that it actually contained what are amino acids -- the building blocks of life. They've found evidence for over 100 amino acids, some of which are not found anywhere on earth. Amino acids are very important to life, and it could just mean that life is common in the universe and our planet just got 'infected' with microbial life, which gradually evolved into more complex life. The Murchison Meteorite shows evidence of being in contact with water before it came to earth, so whatever planet it came from may have also harbored life in some form. Microbes can survive in space, because they just become dormant -- it's too cold. So the idea that a meteorite (or many meteorites) could have contaminated planet Earth with microbes millions of years ago, which gradually evolved into some more complex beings, is quite likely. But as for a meteorite "causing" life to come into existence, that's a bit far fetched, and shows you don't really understand what's going on. There's a good chance that life is quite prevalent in the universe, as microbial life. Once you understand the mechanisms by which evolution works, it's really not that far fetched. I suggest you go and learn from a reputable source what evolution is. The ONLY thing evolution says is that an individual who lives long enough to reproduce passes on their genes. It DOES NOT involve itself at all with the creation of life. Evolution is just an observable thing that happens, and the theory of evolution in no way asserts any influence over the creation of life. Abiogenesis (the creation of life) and evolution are two completely separate ideas. When I was a christian (I'm now an atheist) I used to think that evolution was just how god did it. Now I know there are more plausible explanations for how life began, but the sheer volume of evidence for evolution cannot be ignored. YOu can misrepresent it all you like, but the fact is, it has vast amounts of evidence, and by misrepresenting it, the only thing you're making look foolish is yourself. Seriously, just do some reading on this stuff. I can't understand why anyone who believes in god couldn't imagine that god might use evolution.

Answer 3

Yeah, I have heard of that;

Here's the Scripture reference for that:

Revelation 8:10-11 (New International Version)



10The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water— 11the name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter.

Answer 4

Proverbs 5:4
"But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword."

I see a sword in the sky in that picture.

Jeremiah 9:15
"Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink."

Jeremiah 23:15
"Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts concerning the prophets; Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone forth into all the land."

Lamentations 3:19-24 "Remembering mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall. My soul has them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me. This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. The Lord is my portion, saith my soul: therefore will I hope in Him."

Amos 5:6-8
"Seek the Lord, and you shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph (USA ?), and devour it, and there be none to quench it in Bethel. You who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth, Seek him that makes the seven stars and Orion, and turns the shadow of death into the morning, and makes the day dark with night: that calls for the waters of the sea, and pours themout upon the face of the earth: The Lord is his name."

The only hope is to seek the Lord in true repentance and thus avoid the judgment of God.

Amos 5:15
"Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the Lord God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph."


Clearly in this picture Amos was speaking to the House of Israel, but clearly God says the Bible is line upon line, precept upon precept and here a little and there a little.

And the worst case scenario - Revelation 8:11 - "And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter."

Answer 5

I don't think it landed in water. It remains to be seen if the water supply becomes contaminated. I'm skeptical. It's a naturally occurring phenomenon.

"And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter." (Revelation 8:10, 11 - KJV)

The plant for which Wormwood is named, Artemisia absinthium, is a known Biblical metaphor for things that are unpalatably bitter.

Answer 6

The bible says that many will come against you....keep your faith strong...and don't be ashamed to continue to scream your love and for and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. For the End of Days will come and those that have accepted the Lord Jesus Christ will have a reason to rejoice however those that have not will stand in front of the Ancient of Days and will tremble in judgement. For a kind loving God they shall not meet....Stand strong in your faith and continue to be a very public Christian. May God Continue to bless your mission of spreading his word.

God Bless,

Fire

Answer 7

Interesting side note:

Some have falsely believe Chernobyl is wormwood in Russian is actually translates to: mugwort.

Answer 8

What about the meteorite that hit the earth 80 years ago. Didn't hear about that causing such a stink, did you?

And Noah was just a story character. Do you also believe in Bilbo Baggins?

Answer 9

and you still leave out the fact that god KILLED anything that couldn't swim, loving, right...

and lets see here...

'bible talks about a meteorite crashing into earth that science
will call Wormwood'

its a self fulfilling prophecy, ANY meteorite could strike the ground and be called Wormwood. its still an 'if i believe hard enough it will be right or come true' line of crap...

Answer 10

wow....defensive much? I assume that you realize for yourself then how ridiculous this is. I hope for your sake that Jesus comes down riding a meteor and with a shotgun, shooting out the non-believers, just so you can say "I told ya so". Maybe once the world becomes that horrible, your beliefs won't seem so absurd. But for now, I live in the real world. Bye..

Answer 11

I feel sorry for you.. I gave up most of my anger towards individual Christians once I realized they actually believed in this stuff as strongly as you do. It is a shame, I see a potential positive influence on the world dampened into another problem for this world..
