There are many
superstitions that comets,
asteroids, and meteors are
signs of the end of the world.
If you research history, you
can find that a lot of comets
coincide with natural
disasters. This has been a
big reason that some people
believe comets are a sign of
doomsday. Again, this is a
superstition. The Bible
identifies apostates with
comets and asteroids.
