Interesting. Brimstone is another name for sulfur. You can take brimstone out of the ground and burn it. The area around where Sodom and Gomorroah was supposed to be is full of the stuff.
PBS (of all channels) had a series on last year called "Walking The Bible". There is a whole show dedicated to trying to explain Sodom and Gomorrah. On that show they propose that it could have happened with all the brimstone that is around the Sodom and Gomorroah area. With some digging they were able to discover a slice of ground many, many feet under the ground that is very scorched. The dating shows that it could have been from the Sodom and Gomorrah time frame.
Heck, maybe this asteroid was the "spark" that lit up all the brimstone.
Yeah, I don't know if "proves" is the right word. God and his "actions" or "deeds" or whatever, cannot be proven, only explained. Sort of like love. You can't prove that love exists, but you can give examples that it does.
Dennis Prager, whom I listen to from time to time said it best. God is infinite and mortal man is finite. In order for man to prove that something exists, he has to use one of his five senses. Man's five senses are limited. They are finite. If he tries to prove Gods existence by using one of his five senses then he is making God finite, therefore, he isn't talking about God to begin with.
I guess we just have to feel him inside. Like we do with love.

Yep, that's how God would probably have done it. Suck Godsteroid, sinners!

And y'all know my conviction. The more science discovers, the more it proves, not disproves, The Bible.
Proves? There's a big difference between proves and explains.

What a lovely sentiment, homo.
Proves, explains, confirms, whatever. I wasn't trying to pick an exact word per se.
