Calderists, cometists, and asteroidists too?

There was a real smoker of a meteor in SW Arizona last night right before sundown. It left a trail of smoke that lasted at least 5 minutes before it got too dark to see it anymore. The vertical smoke trail did not distort or seem to move at all after the meteor flashed into a bright white/yellow light. This leads me to believe that the meteor got pretty low, before it burned out.

About three dozen microscopic shards of rock

I'm surprised they didn't find shards of prehistoric SUV's during their research.

That was Wesley Clark's presidential campaign re-entering the atmosphere.

Haw! Craterism is as much a religion as Christianity. How dare you hide behind "science!"

The scientific case against Craterism

1. Meteor craters are not observed to be happening now.
2. Meteor craters have not been observed to happen in the past.
3. Thomas Jefferson said: "Gentlemen, I would rather believe that two Yankee professors would lie than believe that stones fall from heaven."
4. The odds against a rock falling from the sky in a random fashion and making a crater are astronomical.
5. The second law of thermodynamics prohibits meteor craters.
6. Meteor craters are not mentioned in the bible, and are thus blasphemy.
7. Meteor craters have never been reproduced in the lab, and are thus not scientific.
8. Belief that rocks can fall from the sky promotes hedonism and animalistic, amoral behavior.
9. Craterism is a product of materialism and a naturalistic worldview.
10. Craterism makes no predictions and is untestable; it is therefore not scientific.
11. Craterists point to evidence of micro-cratering, but have no evidence of macro-cratering.
12. Scientists are abandoning craterism because they know it is not supported by evidence.

You are joking. Right?

Joking? I borrowed as a template the highly respected (and much quoted) arguments that are constantly presented against evolution, which can be found at the website of the Institute for Creation Research.

Hence, the getting off of one's rocks.
