A third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the water, because it was made bitter.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And while that does not have to be a comet, it certainly sounds like one.<\/p>\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n<p>In addition to looking like a star falling from the heavens looking like a torch, the comets appear with cyanogen.\u00a0 Astronomers state hydrogen cyanide on comets may be their source of cyanogen gas.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly,\u00a0the cyanogen gas mixes with water to form hydrogen cyanide, which has an almond odor and bitter taste, and reportedly causes death at concentrations over 5 parts per million.<\/p>\n<p>And thus for Bible skeptics, the fact that before humans had any idea that comets could produce a poisonous bitter water, it is recorded in the Bible. This\u00a0should be additional proof to those willing to see that the Bible has been inspired by God.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps those who realize it will then try to live by it.<\/p>\n<p>Some articles of possibly related interest may include:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tomorrowsworld.org\/cgi-bin\/tw\/booklets\/tw-bk.cgi?action=dispbooklets\">The Bible: Fact or Fiction?<\/a> This is a booklet written by Douglas Winnail that answers if the Bible is just a collection of myths and legends or the inspired word of God.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/bible.htm\">Read the Bible<\/a> Christians should read the Bible.
