The idea that Sodom might have been an actual place that was actually destroyed by an act of god ("act of god" in the insurance salesman sense, not in the biblical sense) is pretty astounding to me, actually.  I had always assumed there was no historical case that Sodom ever existed.

If you can demonstrate that Sodom was a real place that was really destroyed by a real fireball from the sky, how big of a stretch is it to propose that God made that fireball happen?

This makes a lot of sense to me.  It would make sense that many of our biblical stories are based on some kind of reality and then given an imaginary twist to involve God's wrath or miracles or whatnot in order to explain them.
