They scratched their heads and tore their hair out. There was no answer. Finally 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, ' He got a Bible and went 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.' Joshua was concerned because he was surrounded by the enemy! And if darkness fell, they would overpower them. So Joshua asked the Lord to make the sun stand still! That's right... 'The sun stood still and the moon stayed and lasted not to go down about a whole day!' (Joshua 10:12-13) 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. The elapsed time that was missing back in Joshua's day was 23 hours and 20 minutes, not a whole day. They read the Bible, and there it was about [approximately] a day. These little words in the Bible are important, but they were still in trouble because if you cannot account for 40 minutes, you'll still be in trouble 1000 years from now.......

The re they foun d the Lord sayi ng to Josh ua, 'Fea r them not, I have deliv ered them into thy hand ; ther e shal l not a man of them stan d befo re The e.'

Josh ua was conc erne d beca use he was surr ound ed by the enem y! And if dark ness fell, they wou ld over pow er them . So Josh ua aske d the Lord to mak e the sun stan d still! Tha t's righ t... 'The sun stoo d still and the moo n stay ed and laste d not to go dow n abou t a who le day! ' (Jos hua 10:1 2-13 )
