Asteroid may have destroyed Biblical cities?

Tale of devastation

"Then the Lord rained on Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of Heaven; and he overthrew those cities and all the valley, and all the inhabitants of the cities ... [Abraham] looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah and toward all the land of the valley, and beheld, and lo, the smoke of the land went up like the smoke of a furnace."

Source: Genesis 19:24-28

{ So.....maybe if Sodom and Gomorrah really existed perhaps they were destroyed by a not so uncommon celestial event rather then the spiteful hand of a wrathful God? Throughout most of human history we have attributed events we can not understand to the work of "gods". Science sheds light on the darkness and the truth unfolds. What do you think?}
