Creator makes Jupiter protect Earth from comets
Creator has positioned
Jupiter to protect Earth
We live in a cosmic
shooting gallery. In Phil Plait’s Death from the Skies, he lays out
the dangers of a massive impact: destructive shockwaves, tsunamis, flash fires,
atmospheric darkening…. The scenario isn’t pretty should a big one come our
way. Fortunately, we may have a silent guardian: Jupiter.
Is it true that Jupiter could be considered
our friendliest planet because – without Jupiter – comets would be more likely
to hit us?
The answer is yes … Some astronomers
believe that one reason Earth is habitable is that the gravity of Jupiter does
help protect us from some comets. Long-period comets, in particular, enter the
solar system from its outer reaches. Jupiter’s gravity is thought to sling most
of these fast-moving ice balls out of the solar system before they can get
close to Earth. So long-period comets are thought to strike Earth only on very
long timescales of millions or tens of millions of years. Without Jupiter nearby,
long-period comets would collide with our planet much more frequently.
In addition, in recent decades, astronomers
have been able to see signs of comets that have crashed into Jupiter. There was
Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 in 1994. And, in 2009, astronomers observed a dark gash
in one side of the giant planet, likely caused by a comet.

Audrey Hepburn a great humanitarian, but will she be with the Lord in heaven?
Some have wondered whether Audrey Hepburn was a saved soul.
Her aristocratic mother’s family lived in the Netherlands and like most Dutch
of the time were officially Calvinist Christians, although we do not know
whether they were true believers. Her mother (Ella van Heemstra) was a devout Christian Scientist—a heretical belief system
developed by Mary Baker Eddy. Audrey’s father (Joseph
Victor Anthony Ruston) was officially a Protestant, but we find no proof that
he was a true believer. He was a very troubled man—an adulterer, a Fascist, and
a Nazi sympathizer—even in his old age, he apparently remained detached
emotionally from Audrey, who supported him financially.
Audrey certainly did some good works on behalf of others, and she
did say she had “faith” and believed in “miracles,” but the same could be said
of those in Christian Science and various other belief systems. As far as we
can tell, she was not religious; in fact, she seems to have stayed apart from
all organized religion. She publicly said her faith was not “attached to any
one, in particular, religion…. My mother was one thing, my father another. In
Holland, they were all Calvinists. That has no importance at all to me.”
If she was a true believer, we found no evidence that she revealed
it publicly. Only God knows her heart. Like all humans, she was a sinner in
need of a savior. We can only hope that in her later days she did fully
acknowledge that need and accepted Jesus Christ’s payment for her sins,
turning her life over to Him, as the one and only way to God. Her Earthly life
ended on January 20, 1993, due to appendiceal cancer
