Asteroid - dwarf planet...a rose by any other name is still a rose.

EDIT: I think they would have done just as well if that had created a category just call "Big Asteroids" rather than dwarf planets. It seems to me that this illustrates the significance...or insignificance of the "planets" they claimed to have discovered orbiting other distant starts and planets. Since they have difficulty classifying the ones in our own solar system, I doubt that they could do even as well with the distant ones, where the only evidence of them is possibly the effect on the orbit of the visible celestial body, or as I saw in one documentary, the fluctuation of the light emitted from it.

Careful, this thread might get deleted too.

I can only assume that is in reference to Brink's warning in another thread regarding a ban on political comments. Nearly every thought that anyone has is political in some fashion, but I doubt that this is what he had in mind.

No, it was one that started stretching religious boundaries. Just as well, the subject matter didn't belong on this forum anyway. I think you're okay.

When it comes right down to it, there isn't much difference between religion and politics...or any other system of thought and behavior, except in terms of how those perceptions are handled.

I'm one that believes that Wormwood refers to an actual celestial body, but one theory that I read is interesting, because some believe that it is symbolic of a nuclear missile. The reason that seems somewhat significant is because Chernobyl translates to Wormwood, which doesn't mean that the nuclear disaster there actually was that of prophesy, but could be connected as a foreshadowing of a nuclear missile(s). The plural would have to be the case, because no single nuclear missile that now exists could create the havoc described in Scriptures.
