Asteroid Impact
Simulation There are many
superstitions that
 comets, asteroids,
and meteors are
signs of the end of
the world. If you
research history,
you can find that a
lot of comets
coincide with natural
disasters. This has
been a big reason
that some people
believe comets are
a sign of doomsday.
Again, this is a
superstition. The
Bible identifies
apostates with
comets and
asteroids.
