Hello, this is pastor gary from first baptist church of laplata. A meteor is a piece of space rock that burns up in the intense heat of atmospheric entry, otherwise known as a shooting star; a meteorite is a piece of space rock that survives the intense heat of atmospheric entry and lands on the ground; so I guess a meteornight, is a piece of space rock that survives the intense heat of atmospheric entry and lands next to you on your pillow while you are sleeping at night. This is exactly what happened to a lady in Canada: a 3 pound meteorite crashed through her roof and landed on her pillow. The lady was fine but badly shaken; however, had she been sleeping a few inches over, she would most likely have been killed by the space rock that was traveling at up to 44 miles per second, or 158,400 miles per hour. While the lady plans to keep her space invader, it could be worth between $50,000.00 and $127,000.00 to collectors. In addition to the earth’s being at just the right distance from the sun and at just the right angle to support life, the earth’s atmosphere burns up most things that try to enter it thus protecting life on our planet. Let me guess, this is just another chance development from the Big Bang that produced the Universe in general and our earth in particular. I just don’t have the faith required to believe in a random, godless comos. It may sound strange, but atheists have a lot more faith than I ever will!
