For his information, the Earth gains an average of around half a million tonnes of mass per year from asteroids and space dust. As an estimated one 'ten-trillionth' of one percent of the Earth's total mass, it's not a cause for worry.
You know that huge crater in Arixona? You know the moon?
Both formed by huge asteroids (the moon was caused from a meteor the size of mars hitting earth when it was forming and the "splash" formed the moon)
Earth has been hit by asteroids, even to this day

"this is why i believe in god"
I'm an Atheist. PROTIP: Those impact craters exist. You do the maths, r0k.
I love the smell of annihilated arguments in the morning. Smells like... victory.
So, if you are being honest, if you found out that your hypothesis is wrong, for example that asteroids did hit the earth, that you would stop believing in god?
Didn't think so
How come the planets closer to the asteroid belt with fewer large obstructions between them and said asteroids get hit by asteroids more often than the ones deep inside the solar system? And what's the deal with more people dying of hypothermia in the far north and south than around the equator? And why are venomous snake bites more deadly than nonvenomous? Yes, I am goddamned fucktarded. How did you guess?
Confused?
