Also there was talk several years ago about one hitting and then they came back and said it would miss us
Killer Asteroids and You
What are the chances that you will die because an asteroid hits the Earth? The idea is ludicrous, right? The odds must be infinitesimal when compared to, say, the chances of death in an airplane crash or a tornado. We've heard of people who died in tornados or plane crashes, but who was ever killed by an asteroid? Little ones, meteorites, make streaks in the night sky. Bigger ones may occasionally make a hole in a corn field somewhere. But asteroids never kill anyone, do they?
As it turns out, odds are about 2.4 times greater that you will be killed by a asteroid or comet than by an air crash or tornado, both taken together. Asteroid are surprisingly dangerous. If big one hit the Earth at the wrong place, it could kill many people. And a sufficiently big one could kill everyone.
Last June at San Juan Capistrano, California, about 200 scientists met to discuss the dangers and technological fixes for the problem of killer asteroids. Two scientists, Clark R. Chapman and David Morrison, reported application of the techniques of risk assessment to the risk of death from comets and asteroids. Their conclusions are both surprising and frightening. They estimate that over a 50 year period the chances for a given individual of death from asteroid or comet impacts are about 1 in 6,000. This compares to 1 in 20,000 odds for death in an airplane crash, 1 in 50,000 for death in a tornado, 1 in 5,000 for death by electrocution, and 1 in 2,000 for death in a firearms accident.

Well I think that the fact that the word Torah showing up at exact intervals throughout each book is a pretty clear indication that there is something more to this then can just be brushed off. One of the main guys to admit there was something to this was the head cryptographer for the US government. I think I am going to take his word over the last two posters.

I watched the bible decoding show on the history channel last night and it says that the 911 events were found and that another prediction is that the earth will be totally destroyed in 2012 by a meteor.

An interesting piece of info in regards to this comet....
In August 2002, there was a NASA device that mysteriously disappeared. It was called Contour and was supposed to rendezvous with this 73P comet in June 2006. They still don't know what happened to it...it is presumed destroyed. That would be a great way to turn a commonly known project into a top secret project.
Things to make you think...

On the subject of celestial collisions with the Earth, y'all might want to check into a disintegrating comet 73P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 3 that will threaten in April/May of 2022. It will be making a pass by the Earth this Spring that is close enough to make it visible to the naked eye(comet debris scattered across 10 million miles, closest known pieces expected to pass 5 million miles from Earth). It may bring some meteor showers with it this year.
