The Halocene Impact Working Group postulates that minor comet impacts are fairly frequent but still catastrophic enough to alter human history. This program reviews their research into ancient flood myths, the global cooling event in 535 A.D., the demise of the Clovis people and other events.

Interesting. However, some historicity is misleading here. For example, the putative "barbarism of the Dark Ages" is problematical. The period of 500 to 1000 ce included the birth of the University; the Carolingian Renaissance; and the Byzantine Golden Age.

This is fun, but the stuff about Christianity is ridiculous. We don't even know if the "vision" is apocryphal, something added in by court biographers. Moreover, we have written records and their is no literary corroboration. It isn't impossible, just an extremely unlikely explanation. Now I can't trust anything I heard here. So, it's simply academics trying to make a mark with a big claim.
