The elapsed time that was missing back in Joshua's day was 23 hours and 20 minutes - not a whole day. The astronauts and scientists said, "There is the missing day!" They checked the computers going back into the time it was written and found it was close but not close enough. So Joshua asked the Lord to make the sun stand still! That's right - "The sun stood still and the moon stayed - and hasted not to go down about a whole day!" (Joshua 10:12-13) Joshua was concerned because he was surrounded by the enemy and if darkness fell they would overpower them. He got a Bible and went back to the book of Joshua where they found a pretty ridiculous statement for any one with "common sense." There they found the Lord saying to Joshua, "Fear them not, I have delivered them into thy hand there shall not a man of them stand before thee." There was no answer.įinally, a Christian man on the team said, "You know, one time I was in Sunday School and they talked about the sun standing still." While they didn't believe him, they didn't have an answer either, so they said, "Show us." They scratched their heads and tore their hair. Well, they found there is a day missing in space in elapsed time. They called in the service department to check it out and they said, "What's wrong?" The computer stopped and put up a red signal, which meant that there was something wrong either with the information fed into it or with the results as compared to the standards. They ran the computer measurement back and forth over the centuries and it came to a halt. We have to lay out the orbits in terms of the life of the satellite, and where the planets will be so the whole thing will not bog down. We have to know this so we won't send a satellite, up and have it bump into something later on in its orbits. They were checking the position of the sun, moon, and planets out in space where they would be 100 years and 1000 years from now. "I think one of the most amazing things that God has for us today happened recently to our astronauts and space scientists at GreenBelt, Maryland. Harold Hill, President of the Curtis Engine Company in Baltimore Maryland and a consultant in the space program, here's something that shows God's awesome creation and shows that He is still in control.ĭid you know that the space program is busy proving that what has been called "myth" in the Bible is true? Mr. Readers have been awestruck by the "missing day" legend since at least 1936, when the story emerged into popular culture via a book by Harry Rimmer, titled The Harmony of Science and Scripture, as reflected in this 1999 example from the Internet:įor all the scientists out there and for all the students who have a hard time convincing these people regarding the truth of the Bible.
