Layers of spherules, used in the study to argue for a large explosion, can also form slowly over time. As shooting stars disintegrate in Earth's atmosphere, the spherules fall from the sky and can become concentrated in layers by geological processes, like erosion and deposition."

"Then the LORD rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah--from the LORD out of the heavens. Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, destroying all those living in the cities--and also the vegetation in the land." Genesis 19:24-25

All what you described are the effects of nuclear weaponry. Those cities were nuked.
One faction of gods were fighting against another. Some of those places are still radioactive. The truth is suppressed because they can't,won't or let you know that there were civilizations that were more advanced than our current one. All these PCs,nuclear weapons etc existed long ago. Only the people involved annihilated themselves. We're just rediscovering their exploits. Any new invention is a lie. They stole it or rediscovered it.

And the Bible is not supposed to be taken literally. Elijah's chariot of fire was something else. But it could only be described according to their culture then. Bring a stone age man to 2019 & show him a fighter jet & space station. How do you think he would explain it to his folks back home? Probably as a fierce bird on wheels that coughs fire & giant hut that flies. Now someone reading the same thing centuries later...will be quite naive to believe a bird could cough fire unless he knew what a jet looks like.

According to biblical chronology this incident would have to have taken place in 2118 BCE while the dating for this site is 1700 BCE, thats a gap of more than 400years.

2013 an asteroid entered into earth atmosphere due to it angle of flight an exploded close to some 30km in the sky. witness said it was brighter than the sun, and tg shock wave produced by the blast destroy more than 7000 building and injured more than 1700 and smell of gun power "surfur" filled the air later.
now imagine if it has happened any closer to the ground the whole city would have been wipe out. there was no previous warning, ancients are fond of attributing anything they don't understand to the gods. lightening, thunder, earthquake etc

We are talking about lumps of pure white Sulphur on Sodom and Gomorrah not smell of Sulphur which is naturally produced from intense heat. There is no sign of Asteroid hitting the cooked cities. No sign of meteorites.
Sodom and Gomorrah are the only places on earth with that kind of destruction.

first off your statement on lump of pure sulfur is completely wrong because there is no concrete archeological proof of the existence of both city. several site around the area where it is believe to have existed has been dug with trace of sulfur which can be as a result of several factors.

I only mentioned the Russia incidence because you mentioned meteorite. you asking about the houses damaged, Google chelyabinsk meteorite but I watch it live when it happened

— Dating put the age of Dinosaurs at between 50 to 300millions years old yet most of dinosaur still have carbon 14 in them. Carbon-14 doesn't last up to a million.
The Dinosaurs still have soft tissue and blood vessel. Soft tissue and blood vessel don't last long.

Dinosaurs bones (not their fossils) are found buried in muds. Bone don't last long.

— Newly formed rock was dated 50 years after it was formed, the dating put the age at about 1–2 million years.

Carbon 14 is only one out of several methods of radiometric dating.

The particular dinosaur that was found with those characteristics was an unusual find, that is not how all dinosaur finds are.

if you don't know about something, you ask question. what do you know about space science, NASA which is the best when it comes to space science and technology could not detect it because it was traveling at an angle with the sun which make invisible until it strikes. millions of such body enter into the earth atmosphere everyday but are mostly non threat because they are small. even with near earth object monitoring program still some bad guy can show when you least expect.

Soft-tissues and blood vessels are still being discovered in Dinosaurs bones. Example are Duckbilled dinosaur and Triceratops. Tyrannosaurus tissue is the oldest discovery.
Almost all dinosaur's bones dissolved in chemical show evidence of soft tissue and blood vessel.


Science of tissue decay has demonstrated repeatedly that soft-tissue should not even last a million years.. .same as blood vessels. Scientists are are getting measurable amounts of Carbon-14 from dinosaurs bones all over the world.

Ofcourse Scientists were mocked or fired for showing these soft-tissues

Mount St. Helens volcano erupted in 1980 and recently dated rocks from its solidified magma puts the age between 1 to 2 million years old.

I specifically mentioned the height which the meteorite exploded and remember I mentioned what if it had happened closer to the ground. the damage to buildings is as a result of shockwaves produced by the blast. also similar occurred close to Siberia in 1908 though it was not captured like the one of 2013, it happened closer to the ground though not too to close in remote forest area. the result was the trees closer to the center were scorched, they were left standing with their branches and tree top blown off, while trees further away was toasted fell to the ground the area is about 2000km. people faraway felt the heat and were throw off their feet. the Chinese have a recorded history of similar story that result to over 10000 death though the figure is been disputed by scholars.

if you are looking for pictures you can Google search them

sorry to bust your bubble. fact check there several site that has been dug has the ancient city of Sodom and Gomorrah but non can be said to be the actually candidate so you posting some random picture as Sodom is wrong. this similar to that picture making the round as the skull of Goliath.

secondly balls of fire raining down will mash any building on impact, any house without direct hit will stand but won't have high concentration of sulfur like you propose.

thirdly those site would be thousand of years old, with thousands of years of weathering activities so how do expect to see pure sulfur as it is thousands of years ago.

like I told you no site has been universally accepted as sodom and Gomorrah. even some of sites dug didn't even tally with estimated date Bible gave
