Universe Today - Is This a Parody?

Posted on April 11th, 2008 by blue collar scientist

I honestly can’t tell if this story on Universe Today is a parody, or credulous. Anything that seems to take the story seriously would sound like a parody to someone who knows anything about the orbital dynamics of asteroids and impact physics. But then again, taking the story seriously is also a sign of drinking the special Kool-Aid.

No Sumerian tablet records the impact of an Aten asteroid in Austria which led to the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, as has already been explained.
