NASA, by definition, does not agree with you. They do not conclude
from any evidence that God made the earth stop rotating. You should
address why you implied that they did.

This is not psuedo science. This is the real thing. This is how God
did it. God created the Universe, he can move the sun and planets
around earth exacltly where he wants them. God is in control. He can
keep the solar system from being thrown into chaos. That God can move
the sun around the earth and move the planets to make them appear in
their seasons and then when earth flowed out of the reverse orbit, put
the solar system back exacltly as it would have been just means God is
that powerful. Where is you faith?

The lunar eclipse for day 56 on August 12 1269 BC should be day 54.
That means eclipse records show some days were not counted. The
Chinese counted every day. There must have been a very good reason
they did not count those two days.

Sun miracles happened just about every century, in series of four.
There are plenty of legends, such as Phaethon, and Seneca's Thyestes,
that vividly depict sun miracles. They were so common the Chinese
today still try to tell you about their phoenix and dragon. When there
was a sun miracle the Chinese recorded the phoenix with it. Just read
the Chinese Classics. The phoenix was the angel that moved the sun.
Some of the only astronomical records we have from that period are
from the Chinese. They noticed and recorded it. Just read king Wan's
dream of Joshua's long day from China. http://sunnyokanagan.com/joshua/wansdream.html

NASA states on their website:

"According to the laws of physics, there are only two possible
explanations for having the Sun stand still in the sky for a day: (1)
the Earth would essentially have to stop spinning on its axis...for
which there is no evidence. -or- (2) the Sun would have to start
moving about in the solar system in a very specific way so that it
appeared to us on our spinning Earth to be standing still. There is no
evidence of this occurring either."

This very specific way the sun must start moving about in our solar
system is the model on my website http://sunnyokanagan.com/joshua/index.html
There is no physical evidence because God left none. I never said God
made earth stop from rotating. I said he moved the sun around the
earth.

In general. However, this does not apply to this specific model. NASA
does not read the Bible regularly. I do. I have provided the Bible
context and the Bible dates for these sun miracles. These are exact
dates, a specific model and the complete context for these sun
miracles. God left no physical evidence. Yet this model is testable
and true to my understanding of physics. You do not need to be a
scientist to understand it.

If there is no physical evidence then there is no reason to believe
it. The end.

I'm going to copy and paste Drafterman's reply to you so there is a
greater chance you might not ignore what he said:

"If there is no physical evidence then there is no reason to believe

And yet you make my case for me...

By reverting back to "God did it" and that is why the planets were not
thrown into dissaray,   You are admiting that God did not use
scientific principles; that God can and does work outside the laws of
physics. The psuedo Science is the attempt to use math to demonstrate
that God did it within the laws of science, by your own admission He
didn't.

The article tries to convince us that the action can be quantified in
a logical sounding mathematical formula ...if you ignore various
principles like momentum, inertia etc. God either worked within the
known laws of physics, or he didn't. Don't try to use the tools of man
to prove God, and don't attempt to persuade with faulty logic. Psuedo
Science is something that sounds like science, but isn't.  These kinds
of arguements only make Christians sound stupid to those who do
understand the physics involved.

Yes, God had to work within the laws of physics. He cannot change the
fact earth is rotating at 1000 miles per hour at the equator. He has
to move the sun around the earth to make it appear to stand still in
the sky. According to the laws of physics there are only two
possibilities. The earth stopped rotating or the (2) the Sun would
have to start moving about in the solar system in a very specific way
so that it appeared to us on our spinning Earth to be standing still.
The miracle is understandable and I have presented it as
understandable with plenty of eye-witness documentation. The science
behind getting the sun to move 24 million miles per hour within the
hour is God's business. That is how he does miracles. If we knew
someone would just explain it away as nothing. That is the point of
the website. To get people to think. If God is that powerful I don't
want to get on his bad side. I would want to find out how to be a true
Christian. In your eyes it makes Christians look bad. However, I know
in God's eyes I have correctly presented the case.

Mark 9:1  And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be
some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till
they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.

the rest of the planet noticed no such event. the rest of the planet
knows no such event took place even by observers of the sun and moon
and stars... no one saw a thing but s select few among a mass of
people that we know give off a lot of heat and would dry simple
clothing as fast as it does at concerts sun moving in the sky was
reported by how many again?> Few people among a large mass of people!
Not the whole gang because when i was young we knew most saw nothing
so do not claim they did now!

Agreed.  When I skimmed the article at the beginning of this post my first
thought was "did I just read what I think I just read?"  My next reaction
was to break out laughing.  I am sure that the moving sun was able also to
carry planets like Mercury and Venus along and not wreck their orbital
paths.

That article is truly a masterful piece of fantastical humour.

I have been reading the book Genghis Khan, Life, Death, and
resurrection by John Man. 23 geneticists studied the DNA from 2,000
men across Eurasia. '"We knew there was something extraordinary in the
data as soon as the student drew the first network. The star cluster
stood out because of the high frequency, large numbers of neighbors,
and distribution in many populations. We had never seen such a thing
before. You can tell at a glance it represents a single extended
family. Tatiana immediately said: "Ghengis Khan!". At first it seemed
like a joke, but as we accummulated more data and did the
calculations..this turned out to be the best explanation' p.2

I have accummulated the data and done the calculations. God moving the
sun around the earth with the planets is the best explanation. This is
no joke either. If you bothered to read in depth and do the
calculations yourself you would see for yourself. Orbits are simple
and putting them back to normal is certainly possible. When the
planets moved to appear in their seasons they would be 180 degrees
from where they should normaly be every half year. Then God could move
the sun and planets out of the reverse orbit in one simple movement.
The math stands no matter how you ridicule it.

Hmmm, what if it really did happen that way. What are the implications
for this day and age? I've heard different theories concerning
"administration", that with the passing of Jesus we are under
different laws, that a believer now cannot invoke the same type of
powers that they could back in the old testament, that the old
testament is for "learning" to build faith. And so if we take this
story as factual, what benefit do we derive by taking it as faith? If
you look at the book of Acts, which is basically the chronicle of the
beginings of the early Christian church, there are accounts of
miracles, healings, etc that the proselytes produced, that while maybe
not on the grand scale of the old testament miracles, were still quite
amazing. So there hasn't been any changes in "administration" since
Acts, so by building ones faith in this learning process, it is
conceivable that these works could be reproduced. And you here of it
in the churches, even today, faith healing, praying for and seeing
miracles in the spread of Gods word, and so forth. So there is
obviously something to it. But I think the question still remains, are
these phenomenons in themselves evidence of God's existence?

What?  No, there isn't anything to it.  None of those things ever
happened.

Unless there is some sort of causal connection to be made the answer
is no.

Dag,

Maybe you misunderstood. I was supposing in order to take this
argument to its logical conclusion. If you cruise the web under these
topics you will see the many claims of the miracles of faith. That
does not mean that they can infact be reproduced to the satisfaction
of a scientific standard. There are also various theories to explain
these occurances of faith and the apparant lapses of consistency in
these accounts between the old testament and the new testament.

Again, there may or may not be anything happening, what I am concerned
about is the claim that something happened, and so I suppose it to be
so to follow this claim to its logical conclusion. Maybe it seems
amusing in this way, even absurd, or maybe it doesn't seem so far
fetched. Maybe there is something to it.

Then say "maybe there is something to it" not "obviously something to
it".  As best anyone can tell there isn't anything to any claims of
miracles.  If anyone wants to propose that there is then it's up to
them to demonstrate it to be so, it doesn't matter whether or not a
few billion people in the world think that miracles happen.

Dag,

I am not so far at the end of the scale in my scepticism as you. I
like to entertain strange new ideas, and even strange old ones, if for
nothing more than their entertainment. Because I find when I take such
a hard-line view people become close-minded and I lose even the chance
for humor. If I am so sceptical I begin to wonder, "what is the point
of all this anyway? nobody is even learning anything. we just speak to
hear ourselves talk."

Why the fuck not?  Do you care about whether or not you're believing
true things or whether people lie to you?

So what?  That doesn't mean you have to believe strange ideas just
because they popping into your head.

That doesn't make any sense.
