Yes, I am serious. It will take some time, I recall everyone opposing the KT Boundary back around 1980 and now it is basically a given. Matter of fact there is a recent paper that correlates impact events to most of the extinction events. Velikovsky made a mistake thinking Venus was the cause because he didn't dig deep enough to realize that mythology evolves, as does religion but that is another story. Venus is basically at the end of the line and he equated it with the planet, but it goes way back to Tiamat and possibly the Mother Goddess as the causation, then it became Inanna, then Ishtar and probably at the same time Isis, then Aphrodite and Venus. There is no way the planet Venus was captured 13kyrs. ago, it was a huge comet that produced the Taurid Stream / the Zodiacal Light and about the only thing left is comet 2p/Encke. Look up the Carolina Bays and Saginaw Bay. The denial is deep, some say fish fins, beaver tails, wind, gas bubbles, but anyone with an open mind and a little bit of scientific common sense can see that they are secondary impacts that litter the USA. And it fits perfectly with the Pleistocene megafauna extinction aka the the Younger Dryas Impact 'Hypothesis'.
Revelation 8:8 "...the 2nd angle sounded the trumpet (Like the blast of the Chelyabinsk Super Bolide.) : and as it were a Great Mountain, burning with Fire, was cast into the sea..."
There are piles of stories like this from around the world, just like the flood stories. There is no way all of these cultures could make up the same stories in the past and now in the future are understood as actual natural phenomena, such as mountains falling from the sky, tsunamis, and atmospheric dust veils to block out the Sun. I'll have to gather some up and show ya.
