Years ago, I remember reading of some monks, (in England or Italy, I don't remember who observed an "explosion

Canterbury - 1178 AD   Depending on the size of the explosion, you wouldn't necessarily need a telescope to see an event on the moon.\n\nAlso - http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1182939\n\nIn the above story, the guy used a telescope and a camera to photograph a possible explosion - which is still being debated.\nAn observed moon "explosion" is very plausible, yet so is the wine!  While sampling some wines - for science purposes ONLY! - I think I may have observed a few "moon explosions" myself............LOL!

yes when i was about 9 yrs old,i was living in north yorkshire uk at the time.It was a weekend in the morning my mother asked me to get a nappy for my brother which were upstairs,so i started to walk up the stairs i must have got to the 3rd step when i saw a black figure standing in front of me you could not see its face just a tall hat long cloak well as you would i ran into the kitchen where my mother was she asked me what was wrong as i was pale with fright,i told her and she started drawing a picture she showed it to me  and asked me if that was what i saw and it was she said she had saw the same thing years ago but in a different house.Ive been told as well that my gran has saw the same when my mother was young.None of us have an explaination for it and we dont know who it is.

Here is a famous story in my city, almost everyone here knows it\n\nIn the Downtown area, there is a bell tower over 120 years old\n\nOne night only two workers were working on the tower which was still being built. One worker had an accident with one of the large boulders he was working with and got himself killed. the other worker was afraid that people would believe he killed the other worker since no one else was around, so he took the workers body and buried it in the bell tower wall and he left for mexico the next day.\n\neventually, the tower was finsihed, but wierd things would happen in it such as moaning and things moving, no one knew why. A long time passed, and the other worker when on his deathbed told about how he had buried a fellow workers body in a bell tower in Cheyenne, WY after he died. Much later, in the mid 1990's, two local radio reporters got the courage to spend halloween night in the bell tower. They reported live from the bell tower, i listened to it myself,and everything at first was running smoothly up untill midnight. when it was midnight the reporters started to hear a bunch of wierd noises, bangs off in other rooms. Eventually really wierd things started to happen, like equipment moving on its own, moaning noises where heard, and the reporters got so freaked out they ran for the door which was locked and they couldnt get out. Luckily, one of the churche's janitors was listening to the report and drove down and unlocked the door for them. they ran out leaving all ther equipment and everything.\n\nAfter that, the city got curious as to how true the stroy of the body i the wall was, so they took some sort of x-ray machine to the bell tower and sure enough, there were bones in it.\n\nalso after this, all the teachers at my school were talking about it and i listened to them one time during detention\n\nSometimes, at night, when the church is all locked up, people walking by at 4 in the morining or people wh live nearby will here the organ playing.\n\nyou can see pictures of this church in the 1800s here, sometime after construction on it was completed:\n\nhttp://www.wyomingtalesandtrails.com/cap...\n\nnotice its tall bell tower, in the left of the picture

I also fail to see the correlation.  But this is definitely not the first time something like this has happened.  When we discovered the Earth was round or that it evolved around the Sun, the Church was afraid these discoveries somehow threatened the faith of Christ's followers.  They seem, however, unshaken.  I suppose it has something to do with God being placed into every "unknown."  So when science answers our question, God seems to become unnecessary.

I don't but I heard the names before

Nicolaus Copernik from Poland. It was known before, but nobody dared to say it. Everybody was horribly afraid of the priests of the Catholic church!!!

To us who haven't seen anything extraordinary, we always ponder. A friend of mine just recently attested to a story. It goes like this. His grandmother just died then. They had a new born baby in the clan and it became very ill for no apparent reason. And i think it was an aunt who said in our dialect, "Not this baby nana, still too young." So the inexplicable illness transferred to a nine-year-old boy. They called in an "arbularyo" (herbal medicine practitioner with an allegedly unique knowledge in spiritual matters). So this arbularyo commanded to put the grandma's shirt on top of the head of this boy. And then he began to talk. He spoke in a manner very much like his grandma. He began giving sermon to his uncles and aunts. I asked if he spoke with a different voice. My friend told me that he still spoke according to his voice, but the manner of speaking! If you find it hard to believe, you can draw on the illness part for greater reason to believe. But then, it's really up to you to believe in something or not. When they asked the boy what happened then, he said, in a vision, he just saw his grandma approaching a bright light.

Maybe the correct way asking this question is :Was there a very big explosion in India thousands of years ago? The earth survived many disasters caused by meteorite falls. The affect of such a disaster can be compared only with nuclear explosions.

Hummmm, I don't remember reading about any Christians claiming to be experts on the subject, only what we believe about the act itself.

From having studied volcanicity when I was at university, the only one that springs to mind would be Vesuvius, which erupted in Italy in 79AD. Obviously during this time, populations where not as they are today, but 95% of all human were not wiped out during this eruption. However, all but one in the towns of Herculaneum and Pompeii died during the pyroclastic flow following the eruption. Just out of interest the guy that survived was in jail! How said crime doesnt pay ;-)\n\nUnfortunatly 10,000years ago there was no-one to document the evidence as such, only what we can deduce from the rocks from that time. \n\nHowever, if you remove the 10,000year bit of your question and the human element, there is a possible anwser back 60 to 65Ma. The Deccan Traps in India was a flood basalt which was so huge that it is one of the potential reaons the Dionsaurs died out. The volume lava produced during the eruption (the eruption was not one but many over a period of time) was something in teh region of 1 to 2 million square kilometers. It is widely recognised that the climatic effect of such a supervolcano would lead to a nuclear winter. \n\nHope this helps!

There's supposably one in a church near Lawrence, Ks in a town called Stull, I think.  Missed my chance to check it out and I think it's been torn down, but I know people who claim they've seen things there, although they were too scared to get close or go inside the place.

I heard that the story was from east of France, possibly even as far as Russia. It's a very old story. I'm sure that it had some basis in truth.

no, i think it happened to fast for any one to see it happen. o no waite, it happened over such a long period that no one realized it was happening and thay forgot to write about it. except when it happened to fast, than thay also forgot to write it down.

I wasn't aware that there was one.

other than small paper fires in offices the only thing I heard of was a transformer explosion maybe 10 years ago.
