I'm not down with that.

So, kill them all and let Jesus sort 'em out?
Sounds like a Hollywood blockbuster in the making. With the success of Jurassic World, I'd embellish the story just a bit, so that Raptor Jesus is the one that returns. You could make it almost as violent, bloody, and disturbing as The Passion of the Christ.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Well yeah....usually a dead giveaway.

Since meteors are the glowing trails of excited particles left behind from (usually cometary) dust burning up in the atmosphere, they never hit the Earth, by definition. Meteorites hit the Earth all the time, mostly into the sea, but these rarely exceed a few feet in size and the overwhelming majority are on the order of millimetres. I think what you have in 'mind' are asteroids or comets. And planetary orbits don't work the way you describe. An object of sufficient mass and/or energy to knock a planet from its orbit would also vaporise it. Setting the world ablaze if you like, but it would leave very little for Jesus to rule over, nest-ce pas? Put very, very, See-Spot-Run simply, you would need an object of planetary gravitational mass to settle nearby and disrupt Earth's orbit. Even then, we're more likely to be thrown out of the Solar System than inwards towards the Sun, simply because the range of possible escape vectors is so large. In other words, we're far more likely to freeze than fry.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
You misunderstand but thank you for the correction with meteor vs meteorite. No doubt the Earth would be screwed in way of life as we know it. The mass of energy from everything dying pretty much instantly would simply be directed to its respective pools.positive negative
Good bad There would be no human life on Earth as you mentioned. Sorry for the confusion.
All of which has fuckall to do with the bullshit resurrection story.
So in summary: you think that some impactor might force the Earth from its orbit and set the world ablaze, and I'm the misunderstanding one?
