Sounds counter productive to me.
Why would God allow an asteroid to kill half of all life on Earth?

It does indeed. Approx 98% of all the species that have ever lived are now extinct. Our lineage came within a ba' hair (Scottish expression meaning a scintilla) of extinction more than once. It is one of the reasons I find theistic evolution impossible to accept

From my understanding of the Bible, God gives up or gets bored every now and again.
He got bored with the dinosaurs and decided he needed to wipe them out (along with many other species) and start all over again with man in the Garden of Eden. (Well, they must be gone for some reason and they were not around when Man started 6000+ years ago.)
God gave up on vegetarian mankind and flooded them out, leaving one family that was allowed to eat meat.God will be, once again, getting bored or giving up on mankind that is outside of "the truth" and kill 99.9% of them.

God is getting up in years and he's getting a bit clumsy.
This one of the questions I posed when the discussion of a omniscient deity
created the earth and all the its inhabitants.
Doesn't make logical sense to suggest that a creator of all things would let catastrophic accidents happen
like this to destroy his own creations .

Because he can? Kinda like asking a 3yr old why they ripped their GI Joe to sherds...besides, your either alive, or dead...everything else is filler, thats all...

About 550 years ago a meteorite hit the continental shelf of New Zealand creating a tsunami that wiped out most of the Maori that weren't at sea, fishing, or in the hills, hunting. That left the Maori without their skilled craftsmen and navigators and stopped coastal trading overnight. It went on to hit Australia where it deposted beach sand 130m above sea level.
God must have been too busy having cups of tea and cucumber sandwiches with Jesus to intervene.
