Asteroids and the Flood

On May 13, I posted "Commander Toad and the Dis-asteroid," noted that the flooded asteroid-world in that story is described with imagery -- doves flying over the floodwaters, unable to land -- right out of the Flood story in Genesis.

Today I read this in Flying Saucers Have Landed:

Modern astronomy has calculated that, according to their rules of celestial mechanics, there should be another planet—about the size of our own—between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, Instead of a planet, however, there is a ring of cosmic dust, stones and debris called 'The Asteroid Belt'.

If such a planet did exist and was suddenly destroyed, the repercussions on the rest of the Solar System must have been catastrophic, particularly upon Mars and Jupiter. It is possible that our own universal Deluge Legends and accounts of a terrible catastrophe in which the 'stars fell from their places and rained down on the Earth' may be related to the same cause.

In Commander Toad, it is specifically stated that

There has been a disaster on a world between Jupiter and Mars. That world is an asteroid.

This disaster is a universal deluge.
