Modern (or ancient?) science explains the bible.
Quantum Mechanics! QM (in particular, the uncertainty principle) tells us that the position and momentum of the sun are not precisely defined, but are described by a probability distribution. This probability distribution includes the possibility that the sun could appear to to stand still for about a day. The probability of this happening is extremely small (less even than the probability of 300 amino acids randomly coming together to form a functional protein). But, what the hell, it's only happened once. We note also that the bible says that the sun stayed its course for about a day, indicating the uncertainty involved in the time determination as well. Several bible skeptic posters in this forum have frequently stated that the authors of the bible were ignorant of what is now known about the workings of the universe and its laws. They apparently had a detailed understanding of Quantum Mechanics 3000 years before its recent rediscovery.
