WorldNetDaily earned the nickname WingnutDaily for a reason.

Nonsense I know, but it just goes to show how open to interpretation these things are.

If this is not it, then it is a very deep metaphor for human anger and bitterness, a simple observation on how bitter people can be (wormwood is a bitter tasting herb, similar to the one used to make absinthe which doesn't taste that great unless you use an absinthe spoon and add sugar lol) how we go to war with each other, how we kill each other, how we do turn waters bitter with polution, even in anceint times how we can harbor SO much hate inside. Humans ARE afterall the most destructive threat to their own kind, and to the planet we live on. We do turn waters bitter, we do destroy.

Also, some people think it may have fortold the BP oil disaster, as something to do with the BP logo containing a star and some other symbol relating to 'Wormwood'.

This would fit better than the other nonsense, but it is all still nonsense, the bible is just a book, and it's authors are just authors, nobody in it fortold anything, specially nothing directly related to 2012.

I was curious to not see a scientific post stating that possibly wormwood …..

of course now that you mention it, it does seem like a typo, but I took it as you saying you wanted a non-scientific response. That is cool though.

Definition of 'wormwood'
1. (n.) wormwood
any composite plant of the genus Artemisia, esp. the bitter, aromatic plant, A. absinthium, of Eurasia, used as a vermifuge and a tonic, and as an ingredient in absinthe.
2. wormwood
something bitter, grievous, or extremely unpleasant.

Just figured I would point out that wormwood does not mean "undrinkable". This site focuses on scientific aspects of claims, trying to be a secular website. It is going to be hard to get non-scientific arguments, but I guess there may be some here willing to delve into that.
Btw, how is Terminator doing?"

You were not so paying attention when you typed a response. I certainly asked for a scientific response and I got a few below your post. I was in no way asking for a non-scientific argument, quite the opposite actually.

And you are assuming that the complete comet would hit earth.

Yes, in order to obtain an idea of the maximum quantity of cyanogen which would reach the Earth's surface. It would seem that what little there is would be too widely dispersed to be harmful.

Earth already went through Comet Halley's tail in 1910. We still have 2 meteor showers that hits earth with comet Halley fragments.

I was curious to not see a scientific post stating that possibly wormwood could be a dirty comet,

The main parts of a comet are the tail, the nucleus, and the coma. The nucleus is made up of dust, frozen hydrogen, helium, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and cyanogen… . Cyanogen [is] a poisonous gas that liquefies at minus 21 degrees centigrade

The mass of the Earth's atmosphere is approximately 5 x 10¹⁸ kg.¹ and the mass of a large comet such as Halley's is estimated to be 2 x 10¹⁴ kg.² ie. 1/25,000th the mass of the atmosphere. A molecule such as cyanogen would only exist as a tiny fraction of the comet's mass. The cyanogen would be vaporised by a combination of friction generated by the comet's passage through the atmosphere and the energy of the impact with the Earth's surface. Dispersal of this gas throughout the entire atmosphere would effectively go unnoticed and would probably be barely detectable even with the most sophisticated instrumentation. I can neither see it existing in sufficient quantity nor being concentrated in one place in order that it might contaminate the water supply.

Cyanogen may be thought of as the parent substance of cyanide's of all types… . Our most recent spectrographical observations of a comet, the comet Kohoutek, at radio wavelengths revealed the presence of methyl cyanide and hydrogen cyanide. “Wormwood” means “undrinkable” - and I believe that the chemical composition of a comet is capable of generating sufficient poison into the earth's water supply to kill the “many men” of Revelation 8:11" end quote.

Wormwood could certainly be a comet, now those comets that were named I do not specifically say it is one of those, I am only noting the possibility of wormwood being a comet.

Here is a question can anyone show me something that agrees or disagrees with what I have put up? I am very curious as to everyones answers and approaches to this comet possibility.
