Uhhh....I'm leaning more toward the volcano/methane leak explosion theory to explain Sodom and Gomorrah. It would seem an asteroid of the size indicated in the article would wreak far more devastation, and would leave corraborating evidence over a good chunk of S. Europe, N. Africa, and the Middle East.
