Sodom found?

I think a lot of Biblical stories and other myths have grains of truth in them....tiny though they may be. It's that shred of truth that the believers cling to and try to use as 'proof'.
What fresh hell can this be? - Dorothy Parker

In a quick glimpse at an article I found referencing the event there was mention of ongoing discussion as to aspects of the archeology. Is still interesting and given thd latest observation of a rock again just missing us puts into question of why a diety even wants to 'Play marbles' withb its creation. 
The paper is getting dragged by the people who's work it cites, and experts in the relevant fields. Happens every now and again.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
well, on the face of it, the odds of a major bolide air burst of the magnitude described occurring over a given spot during historic times is extremely small. The two largest event of this nature to happen during the 20th century didn’t come close to causing any conflagration on the ground. AFAIK there is no record of such an occurrence within reliable historic records, which tend to suggest its frequency of occurrence over the land surface of the earth is at most once every few centuries. So the chance of one of these occurrences having visited a particular spot in the last 5000 years must be almost infinitesimal.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
