Recently, NASA’s discovery confirmed that these biblical stories are in fact true.

As per Mr. Harold Hill, the President of the Curtis engine Company in Baltimore, additionally a consultant in space programs: “A standout amongst the most astounding things that God has for us today happened recently to our space explorers and space researchers at Green Belt, Maryland”.

As researchers were inspecting the positions of a few space objects including the Sun, the Moon and the planets and their positions in 100 and 1000 years – this is done consistently so as to keep our satellites from crashing into the orbits of the planets.

The orbits must be resolved on time so that the space projects don’t intrude on their course. Amid the PC calculations, a red signal put everything at a standstill, implying that something wasn’t right, either with the information or the outcomes. After the intervention of the administration office, the researcher concluded that some place in space a day was lost in elapsed time!

No one could solve the problem until one Christian explained that in Sunday school they were told about the Sun stopping.

Obviously, nobody believed, however when the man took the Bible, he opened the book of Joshua and an entirely absurd proclamation made a lot of sense.

They read the passage when God said to Joshua: “Fear them not, I have delivered them into thy hand; there should not be a man of them stands before thee.” (Joshua 10:.

Joshua was concerned because he was surrounded by the enemy, and if darkness fell, he’d be conquered. So Joshua requested that the Lord make the sun stop!

It’s hard to believe, but it’s true – “And the sun stopped and the moon stayed, until the general population had avenged for themselves upon their enemies. Is it not written in the book of Ja’- sher? So the sun stopped in the midst of heaven and hurried not to go down around an entire day.” (Joshua 10:13).

The researchers soon concluded this was the missing day. They analyzed the PC calculations and found that the time missing was actually 23 hours and 20 minutes, which doesn’t make an entire day like in the book of Joshua.

After reading the Bible once more, they saw that it said “about (around) a day.” Although the Bible was valid, they were still missing 40 minutes which must be accounted for, because if not, it could make issues 1,000 years from now.

The Christian then remembered something in the Bible which said that the Sun went backwards. Nobody believed again, yet then they opened the Bible and were proved wrong.

Hezekiah was visited on his deathbed by Isaiah the prophet, who told him know that it’s not his time yet. Hezekiah asked for a sign, and Isaiah asked if the Sun would go ahead ten degrees, or go back ten degrees? Hezekiah replied: “It is a light thing for the shadow to go down ten degrees; nay, yet let the shadow return in backwards ten degrees.”

“And Isaiah the prophet cried unto the Lord, and He brought the shadow ten degrees in backward, by which it had gone down in the dial of Ahaz.”

10 degrees equals 40 minutes!
The 23 hours and 20 minutes from Joshua and the 10 degrees (40 minutes) in the 2 kings accounted for the missing day!

NASA abi hassan
There are just things that remains a mystery
Like the milky way that has over one billion stars..Imaging how many planets now...

Ok.

Did not read. Lol.

Hmmm!!! D wonders of God, even science must concur at the end.

Yesssooo. unfortunately, the damage would have irreversible effect on the forever lost souls who were deceived by evolution and other force-fed scientific garbage.

Ha ha ha! No, just no!

Detailed Analysis
According to this story, which has circulated in various forms for decades, scientists at NASA have performed calculations that prove old Bible stories that claim God once made the sun stand still for a day and, on another occasion, made the sun go backwards. The message claims that the space scientists at NASA's Green Belt, Maryland facility were at first puzzled by computer calculations that showed that a day was missing in time until a Christian team member pointed out that the Bible story of God making the sun stand still explained the apparent anomaly. And, suggests the message, a 40 minute shortfall in the "missing day" calculations was resolved perfectly by factoring in the story of God making the sun go backwards. The message asks recipients to send on this "amazing and interesting" proof of God's awesome power to as many people as possible.

But, the story is utter nonsense. The event described never took place. NASA scientists have not discovered a missing day in time. Nor has any other credible scientific organization. There are no anomalies in the scientific data that give any credence whatsoever to the Biblical stories of the sun standing still or going backwards.

The story has circulated in various forms for decades. In fact, the story actually predates the founding of NASA and was apparently first told by a Presbyterian minister named Harry Rimmer in his 1936 book, "The Harmony of Science and Scripture". In his book, Rimmer relates an encounter between a Christian professor and a skeptical astronomer that closely mirrors the later NASA version included above. But Rimmer never produced any evidence or documentation to prove that the encounter was anything more than a fictional anecdote.

And, although he always claimed the story was true, Harold Hill, the man who first told the NASA version of the story, quite clearly adapted it from earlier variants. In his book "The Truth Never Stands in The Way of a Good Story" American folklorist Jan Brunvand notes:
NASA's Public Affairs Office at the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, has issued a terse press release in response to questions about Harold Hill and the missing day. The release states that the center "has no knowledge of the use of its computers supposed by Mr. Harold Hill and attributed to our scientists. Goddard does not apply its computers to the task of projecting thousands of years into the future or past, as this would be irrelevant to the operational lifetime of satellites, which rarely exceeds a dozen years. The release concludes by saying that Hill "worked briefly at Goddard early in the 1960s as a plant engineer, a position which would not place him in direct contact with our computer facilities or teams engaged in orbital computations"

NASA says:

The Answer
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.
We, too, have heard an "urban legend" about scientists at NASA GSFC finding the "missing day" in computer calculations of the motions of the planets. The legend has been around for longer than NASA itself, but turned into a NASA "event" sometime in the 60's. The story goes that some scientists were doing orbital mechanics calculations to determine the positions of the planets in the future, for use in determining the trajectories of future satellite missions. They realized they were off by a day. A biblical scholar in the lot remembered the passage from Joshua and all was set right. But these events, in fact, never occurred. It is easy to understand why:

[b]The "GSFC finds missing day" urban legend doesn't make sense for the following reason. If we want to know where the planets will be in the future, we use accurate knowledge of their initial positions and orbital speeds (which would be where they are located now), and solve for their positions for some time in the future. We solve a very well determined set of equations that describe their motions. The major dynamical component of any planet's orbital motion is determined by solving an equation (force is equal to the mass times the acceleration) which is the perhaps the most fundamental in classical physics. The validity and predictive power of this equation are well documented and can be seen every day: a recent example is the lunar eclipse that was visible to much of the world last Sunday. This calculation would not cover any time before the present, so some missing day many centuries ago, if it had occurred, could not be uncovered with this method.
In general, trying to prove events that are said to have occurred in the Bible, using scientific principles, doesn't work. Most scientists draw a clear distinction between things that are taken on faith, and those that are testable and therefore falsifiable. Science deals with the latter, and religion with the former.[/b]

May I guide you?

You will wear yourself out responding to these posters. Nairaland has aged since you left and not for the better I fear.

Used to be the time when robust debates held sway, sadly the "indomie generation" with their lack of reading culture is here. They are proud to tell you that they didn't read what was posted. Only a few engage sincerely.


The best apologists on NL today are cringeworthy.
