             case, the skies would take on a red-hot color. As Davies states, on
             that Day the superheated gases could form tornados, and the
             resemblance thereof to a red rose is obvious.
                Allah will bring the Day of Judgment at a predetermined time
             and fulfill His promises. These events may take place one by one, or
             all at once. Similar things have happened before, for both asteroids
             and comets have caused localized and, at other times, widespread,
             damage. Only Allah knows the time of the next one.
               Scientists predict that an asteroid will come close to Earth in
             2028. According to them, if it falls into the Atlantic Ocean, America
             and Europe will be submerged; if it falls onto land, it will be far
             more destructive. Asteroids entering the atmosphere would cause
             earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, the dust of which would veil
             Earth in darkness. Astronomers point out that even the proximity of
             such a comet would pose a great danger to Earth. 28
               Scientists refer to the Swift-Tuttle comet, which passed close by
             in 1993 and is expected to return in 2126. Calculations suggest a high
             probability of a collision, as it is expected to pass by at 2 weeks'
             distance—a close encounter indeed—and many scientists are
             genuinely concerned and worried about such a near miss. The

             inconsistent orbits of these objects create a continuous traffic, which
             means that Earth and other planets are constantly at risk. According
             to experts, Swift-Tuttle or some other object eventually will collide
             with Earth. Some of them could cause greater devastation than all of
             humanity's nuclear weapons combined. We just do not know when
             this will happen.
               Davies says "when it does, it will be bad news for people. There will be
             an abrupt and unprecedented interruption in the history of our species."
             He says that a collision would almost certainly spell the end for
                      29
             humanity. He deals extensively with this subject in his book The
