I must say I am impressed by the level of work done in AIG,however I find constant backpedaling of aplogetics dishonest. there is one point in the book of joshua that I wish to dispute since they snuck out from under it,I believe,because it
is a difficult question. I also found some erroneous work on the physics side of their arguements.Unfortunately they operate only through snail mail so it will be a long time before any issue acould be sorted out.Damn shame becuase I have asked this same question here on the forum and not recieved any response.
From AIG.
c. Some form of light refraction appears to have been what happened in the reign of Hezekiah when the shadow on Ahaz’s sundial retreated ten degrees (2 Kings 20:11)an event that appears to have occurred only in the land of Palestine (2 Chronicles 32:31).
What a line of B.S. since for one it would hardly equate to a miracle or even something special.Why mention it if it has no bearing on the context of the story.It is my opinion that they refused to tackle it since it is not mentioned by any other nation of people anywhere in the world of that time.Also missing is an explanation of the physical effect of the earth moving backwards in order to accomodate this phenomena without the destruction that would ensue.
