At the end of September, this year, we are to be visited by Toutatis.
This approximately three mile wide visitor has been by before but will
come this time within a million miles of earth. Rense has posted some
info on this visit but there are tons of sites to look at concerning this event. To me, this is an important problem. Why are we not spending some of our treasure to try and protect our planet from these rocks? We buy insurance in our daily lives ---- just in case. I think the world would be willing to chip in to avert an extinction event. Yes, the odds are against this one hitting us but if the time involved is long enough it will happen again as it has happened in our planet's past.
To say that these things are inevitable and are natural disasters which we don't need to worry about strikes me as horribly silly. Death is a natural disaster to each of us --- depending on circumstances --- yet most of us try to avoid death for a large part of our lives. Why not try harder to avoid a premature human species death?
To those who say that God is responsible.....He has given us several warnings then. There is nothing in the Bible that says we will come to an end by Rock. There are allusions to small scale hits--- but could it be the work of Satan? Don't we want to use the brain God gave us to defend ourselves either way?
Those who don't believe in God should be eager to defend themselves against such a threat to continue our cultures and try to solve other problems as well.
Anyway, why aren't our Fearless Leaders working to defend us against this kind of potential terror? This Toutatis comes around every four years (at about election time?). I think we need to do something.
