Abstract

Nearly 2,000 years ago, a man named Saul had an experience that changed his life, and possibly yours as well. According to Acts of the Apostles, Saul was on the road to Damascus, Syria, when he saw a bright light in the sky, was blinded and heard the voice of Jesus. Changing his name to Paul, he became a major figure in the spread of Christianity. William Hartmann, co-founder of the Planetary Science Institute in Tucson AZ, has a different explanation for what happened to Paul. He says the biblical descriptions of Paul's experience closely match accounts of the fireball meteor seen above Chelyabinsk Russia in 2013. Here, Aron discusses whether the first-century fireball helped a small sect became a world faith.
