Hello Panda, welcome to EvC!
Yeah, I was just going to edit that into my message as well (that giant balls of fire are not equal to comets).
Good point, thatnks.

Are you questioning my understanding of comets/asteroids or the authors?
I'm guessing both.
If they didn't understand what comets and asteroids are does that mean that we do?
No, that we understand what comets and asteroids are means that we do.
Having never witnessed such an event I can't say that I do understand the impact of such an object so I find your line of argument irrelevant.
You see, that's why science works, it can tell you exactly what would happen if such a thing hit the earth. That's how you know it will be catastrophic.

The incredible consistency of solar energy to within less than 1% for millions of years doesn't seem very plausible to me, when human operated atomic power cores require extreme care and maintenance, while our sun enables our comfortable lives to continue.
The sun's a bit bigger than a human operated power plant, further the sun uses fusion, not fission, moreover, that's just what happens when you put a lot of hydrogen in one place.
But you see, we do have things to learn.
Evidently.
Drop one drop of concentrated sodium hydroxide in phenolphthalein solution and you can turn it from clear to pink instantly. It's not magic at all. But even if it were, why is that so implausible for a Creator who can create a universe?
Wait, how does that follow?
