The point is the verse conveys the sense of celestial bodies falling to the earth consistent with asteroid impacts. Ever hear the term

They think that argument is somehow convincing to skeptics but it really isn't.
Now this is a free country and people can believe that all they want but it doesn't belong in our public schools.

There are good scientific reasons the earth cannot be old but must be young. Most "skeptics" won't bother to learn why.
