Default Asteroid impact could have prompted Constantine's conversion

I found this very interesting, so I thought y'all might also. Has anyone heard more about this?

I had not heard that in specific, but it sounds very suspiciously like a more credible version of Velikovsky's Worlds in Collission which has unfortunately dogged biblical scholarship since it was written in various forms. I realize that this is not a biblical event exactly but for some reason, certain people love to theorize that space rocks were responsible for every event in the bible rather than imagination (or God/Jesus if you're a theist).

He was taking conversion-enhancing drugs that had a great impact. Unfortunately, there wasn't a testing program that could detect this so his form of Christianity spread all over the world.

Default Are we sure it was an asteroid

maybe it was an alien vessel filled with aliens that previously visited earth.
