Comments on: 2007 TU24: Told ya so http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2008/01/29/2007-tu24-told-ya-so/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.

The asteroid has been approaching us for weeks. Now, it’s past the point where it was closest to us. NOW you say there will be effects?" Heh. That was me :) Man, what a loon nua is. Constantly demanding evidence against "her" theory and cleverly ignoring the evidence against "her". Sounds like a Scientologist to me. “Oh, please. The asteroid has been approaching us for weeks.

Five submarine cables cut in under a week! http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2008/02/fourth_undersea.html Clearly it is TU24 and its little spawn the 10m rock that zipped by much deeper in the magnetosphere .... (sorry I couldn't resist) You are all wrong. Five submarine cables cut in under a week!

Yet they continue to make unsubstantiated claims of affects on the website. I find it incredulous that none of the doomsayers from tu24.org have posted any form of rebuttals on this website.

Afaeodontism: 1) Having an understanding of the natural world. 2) Having the understanding that the simplest organic compounds are the basis of all forms of life in this half of the universe. 3) Knowing that traceable science experiments prove the world is about 4.5 billion years old. 4) Knowing that the big bang did occur but the mechanics can’t be explained until a better version of string theory comes along. 5) Knowing that plants and animals have a fair bit in common by their cellular and genetic nature. 6) Knowing that a shrimp is an animal and a lentil is a plant. 7) A chicken baster is a kitchen tool.
