Stones from Heaven

Rocks colliding with earth and causing cataclysms are scientific and biblical.

‘As they fled Israel, while they were at the descent of Bethoron, the LORD threw down large stones from heaven on them… and they died.’ - Joshua 10:11

NASA recently reported that a meteor which could destroy an entire city has a 3% chance of hitting earth in 2032.

As I listened to this news being reported, I heard reporters laugh and make jokes about the meteor having a 97% chance of missing earth.

Those reporters lack of historical, scientific, and biblical knowledge inspired this post.

Two Scientific Viewpoints about Earth

Earth’s history has long been a battleground between two opposing scientific views:

• Gradualism (evolutionary uniformitarianism over billions of years).

• Catastrophism (Creation and sudden, catastrophic changes to Earth).

Immanuel Velikovsky proposed the Dead Sea was created during the natural catastrophes of the Exodus in 1485 BC

Gradualism is championed by evolutionary scientists like James Hutton, Charles Lyell, and Carl Sagan. They argue that geological change occurs slowly over vast periods through processes such as erosion, sedimentation, and plate tectonics—what we now call uniformitarianism.

I became a catastrophists due to my reading and understanding of history, science, and the Bible. Isaac Newton convinced me of natural catastrophes that made the Earth what it is today.
