I seek refuge with God from expelled satan Holy Qur'an Chapter 67 - The Dominion 16. Have ye taken security from Him Who is in the heaven that He will not cause the earth to swallow you when lo! it is convulsed? 17. Or have ye taken security from Him Who is in the heaven that He will not let loose on you a hurricane which flings rocks? But ye shall know the manner of My warning. 18. And verily those before them denied, then (see) the manner of My wrath (with them)! Chapter 16 - The Honey Bee 45. Are they who plan ill deeds then secure that Allah will not cause the earth to swallow them, or that the doom will not come on them whence they know not? 46. Or that He will not seize them in their going to and fro that there be no escape for them? 47. Or that He will not seize them with a gradual wasting? Lo! thy Lord is indeed Full of Pity, Merciful! 48. Have they not observed all thing that Allah hath created, how their shadows incline to the right and to the left, making prostration unto Allah, and they are lowly? 49. And unto Allah maketh prostration whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth of living creatures, and the angels (also), and they are not proud 50. They fear their Lord above them, and do what they are hidden. 51. Allah hath said: Choose not two gods. There is only One God. So of Me, Me only, be in awe. 52. Unto Him belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth, and religion is His for ever. Will ye then fear any other than Allah? 53. And whatever of comfort ye enjoy, it is from Allah. Then, when misfortune reacheth you, unto Him ye cry for help. 54. And afterward, when He hath rid you of the misfortune, behold! a set of you attribute partners to their Lord, 55. So as to deny that which We have given them. Then enjoy life (while ye may), for ye will come to know. 56. And they assign a portion of that which We have given them unto what they know not. By Allah! but ye will indeed be asked concerning (all) that ye used to invent. Chapter 7 - The Place Between Heaven and Hell 96. And if the people of the township had believed and kept from evil, surely We should have opened for them, blessings from the sky and from the earth. But (unto every messenger) they gave the lie, and so We seized them on account of what they used to earn. 97. Are the people of the townships then secure from the coming of Our wrath, upon them as a night raid while they sleep? 98. Or are the people of the townships then secure from the coming of Our wrath upon them in the daytime while they play? 99. Are they then secure from Allah's scheme? None deemeth himself secure from Allah's scheme save folk that perish. 100. Is it not an indication to those who inherit the land after its people (who thus reaped the consequence of evil doing) that, if We will, We can smite them for their sins and print upon their hearts so that they hear not? 101. Such were the townships. We relate some tidings of them unto thee (Muhammad). Their messengers verily came unto them with clear proofs (of Allah's Sovereignty), but they could not believe because they had before denied. Thus doth Allah print upon the hearts of disbelievers (that they hear not). 102. We found no (loyalty to any) covenant in most of them. Nay, most of them We found wrong doers Chapter 11- Prophet Hood 77. And when Our messengers (angels in man shape) came unto Lot, he was distressed and knew not how to protect them. He said: This is a distressful day. 78. And his people came unto him, running towards him and before then they used to commit abominations He said: O my people! Here are my daughters! They are purer for you (to marry). Beware of Allah, and degrade me not in (the person of) my guests. Is there not among you any upright man? 79. They said: Well thou knowest that we have no right to thy daughters, and well thou knowest what we want. 80. He said: Would that I had strength to resist you or had some strong support (among you)! 81. (The messengers) said: O Lot! Lo! we are messengers of thy Lord; they shall not reach thee. So travel with thy people in a part of the night, and let not one of you turn round (all) save thy wife. Lo! that which smiteth them will smite her (also). Lo! their tryst is (for) the morning. Is not the morning nigh? 82. So when Our commandment came to pass We overthrew (that township) and rained upon it stones of clay, one after another, 83. Marked with fire in the providence of thy Lord (for the destruction of the wicked). And they are never far from the wrong-doers.

I seek refuge with God from expelled satan Holy Qur'an Chapter 67 - The Dominion 16. Have ye taken security from Him Who is in the heaven that He will not cause the earth to swallow you when lo! it is convulsed? 17. Or have ye taken security from Him Who is in the heaven that He will not let loose on you a hurricane which flings rocks? But ye shall know the manner of My warning. 18. And verily those before them denied, then (see) the manner of My wrath (with them)! Chapter 16 - The Honey Bee 45. Are they who plan ill deeds then secure that Allah will not cause the earth to swallow them, or that the doom will not come on them whence they know not? 46. Or that He will not seize them in their going to and fro that there be no escape for them? 47. Or that He will not seize them with a gradual wasting? Lo! thy Lord is indeed Full of Pity, Merciful! 48. Have they not observed all thing that Allah hath created, how their shadows incline to the right and to the left, making prostration unto Allah, and they are lowly? 49. And unto Allah maketh prostration whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth of living creatures, and the angels (also), and they are not proud 50. They fear their Lord above them, and do what they are hidden. 51. Allah hath said: Choose not two gods. There is only One God. So of Me, Me only, be in awe. 52. Unto Him belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth, and religion is His for ever. Will ye then fear any other than Allah? 53. And whatever of comfort ye enjoy, it is from Allah. Then, when misfortune reacheth you, unto Him ye cry for help. 54. And afterward, when He hath rid you of the misfortune, behold! a set of you attribute partners to their Lord, 55. So as to deny that which We have given them. Then enjoy life (while ye may), for ye will come to know. 56. And they assign a portion of that which We have given them unto what they know not. By Allah! but ye will indeed be asked concerning (all) that ye used to invent. Chapter 7 - The Place Between Heaven and Hell 96. And if the people of the township had believed and kept from evil, surely We should have opened for them, blessings from the sky and from the earth. But (unto every messenger) they gave the lie, and so We seized them on account of what they used to earn. 97. Are the people of the townships then secure from the coming of Our wrath, upon them as a night raid while they sleep? 98. Or are the people of the townships then secure from the coming of Our wrath upon them in the daytime while they play? 99. Are they then secure from Allah's scheme? None deemeth himself secure from Allah's scheme save folk that perish. 100. Is it not an indication to those who inherit the land after its people (who thus reaped the consequence of evil doing) that, if We will, We can smite them for their sins and print upon their hearts so that they hear not? 101. Such were the townships. We relate some tidings of them unto thee (Muhammad). Their messengers verily came unto them with clear proofs (of Allah's Sovereignty), but they could not believe because they had before denied. Thus doth Allah print upon the hearts of disbelievers (that they hear not). 102. We found no (loyalty to any) covenant in most of them. Nay, most of them We found wrong doers Chapter 11- Prophet Hood 77. And when Our messengers (angels in man shape) came unto Lot, he was distressed and knew not how to protect them. He said: This is a distressful day. 78. And his people came unto him, running towards him and before then they used to commit abominations He said: O my people! Here are my daughters! They are purer for you (to marry). Beware of Allah, and degrade me not in (the person of) my guests. Is there not among you any upright man? 79. They said: Well thou knowest that we have no right to thy daughters, and well thou knowest what we want. 80. He said: Would that I had strength to resist you or had some strong support (among you)! 81. (The messengers) said: O Lot! Lo! we are messengers of thy Lord; they shall not reach thee. So travel with thy people in a part of the night, and let not one of you turn round (all) save thy wife. Lo! that which smiteth them will smite her (also). Lo! their tryst is (for) the morning. Is not the morning nigh? 82. So when Our commandment came to pass We overthrew (that township) and rained upon it stones of clay, one after another, 83. Marked with fire in the providence of thy Lord (for the destruction of the wicked). And they are never far from the wrong-doers.

Fun fact: Virginia’s waterways have a high risk of being contaminated due to the instability caused by subsidence of land directly related to the meteor impact 35 million years ago. The crater is located in Chesapeake Bay and probably helped to form the bay. It was discovered in late 1990’s and cause 1,500 foot waves that surged through Virginia. Within the crater is the remnants of an ancient ocean and the oldest salt water. Unfortunately the crater is unstable and collapses leading to the salt water getting into our freshwater aquifers. Not everywhere in VA is affected but a good amount of people are

Nope, large asteroids can easily tear earth apart, just that they were all captured by Jupiter - until now, that is. Search “2009 jupiter impact event” and see how devastating it was. Even a smaller one can wipe clean all life forms on earth in hours, evaporating all of the sea water - humans can wipe out most of the large land animals with atomic bombs, but when it comes to plants, small animals, insects, simple life forms, etc, and most of the sea animals, there is not much we can do. Humans can’t even wipe out ourselves - we can only wipe out our civilizations. There were 5 mass extinction events throughout the earth’s history, each wiped out 90~96% of life forms on earth. Humans can never deal such damage to earth even with all the nuclear weapons we held during the Cold War, let alone with a fraction number of bombs we have today. There was one interesting article I read a while ago, and it has a lot calculations in it, it says that even if we extract all Uraniums on earth and make them into a giant atomic bomb, we can hardly make a dent on the moon (as moon doesn’t have atmosphere, thus no shock waves), let alone creating a lunar crater, and you know what moon looks like today. Conclusion of that article, human civilization is like a joke comparing with the force of nature.
