Also I don't think an asteroid was able to speak to Constantine and tell him, "In hoc signo vinces."

However, I have no problem believing that if God wanted to influence Constantine that he would arrange for an asteroid to drop at just that moment in just that place. While the peculiarly shaped mushroom cloud (a big P with an X through it?) was rising He would have simply placed the words in his ear. I don't have any issues with him starting that asteroid on that particular course, oh say, 2 billion years ago. No problemo. Oh, and the cloud could easily be caused by a convenient cold front and some clear air turbulance. He built the universe. He would probably tend to use the tools he built in. It would do less violence to His creation. (there seems to be a trend to the threads I'm feeling compelled to contribute to tonight. I may have to think about this some..... )

Agreed. This story reminds me of scientists who "proved" that a volcano caused the plagues God sent on the Egyptians as well as the parting of the Red Sea (in fact, remember the scene in "The Ten Commandments" where Yul Brener says as much to Mr. Heston (Moses)). Scientists are way too eager to prove God does not exist by positing "sceintific" causes for His actions. I believe there is no contradition between reason, (real) science, and faith.
