Catastrophism/Planet X - Catastrophism is the belief that at certain times in earth's history there have been sudden, dramatic events that have altered the

Pluto -- Although the recent discussion on whether to downgrade Pluto to a minor planet has
resulted in no change to its planetary status, we thought we would take a very brief look

Rev
12:15 Flood -- A series of spectacular images produced by
state-of-the-art cameras on NASA's Polar spacecraft have confirmed that Earth is being
pelted by thousands of small comets each day. These never-before-seen images establish the
physical reality of the house-sized "snowballs" that weigh tens of tons, break
up as they approach Earth, and deposit large clouds of water vapor in the upper
atmosphere. (June, 1998)

"Prophecy of the Stars," the speaker outlined how he had plotted the
course of comet Hyakutake (hi-yah-coo-tah-key), taking note of each constellation that it

Stars," he threaded the meaning of each constellation together in the order of the
