Scientific Lunacy or
Bible Prophecy?

• Scientific Lunacy

In the late 1980’s, there was very little acceptance among geologists and geoscientists that giant asteroids, the size of mountains, had impacted our planet. Today, a mere ten years later, there is almost universal agreement among scientists that Earth has experienced several enormous impacts. Funny, isn’t it, how science has radically changed its course of thought in such a short time! The notion that Earth has been pummeled by giant asteroids was regarded as scientific lunacy in 1978 when geoscientist Dr. Luis Alvarez, (University of California at Berkeley) first advanced the idea that the dinosaurs became extinct because of an asteroid impact. Today, however, the evidence of asteroid impacts on Earth is indisputable. More than 150 impact sites have been identified and studied. One of the largest impact craters (about 175 miles across) is located in the Gulf of Mexico. In fact, many scientists now believe the dinosaurs became extinct worldwide because of the Mexico impact.
