i feel rather like a boy who has just picked up a basketball among the NBA's finest. This really is not my area of expertise, but i just wanted to ask a few questions and pose a few ideas.
First, the recurring theme of the ultra long day among various cultures, and even that they are around the same time period is very interesting.
Also, Those who look for errors will always find them (glass half empty), especially on a faith so stoicly founded on freedom of choice.
Next, Though it is true, and very logical about what many of you have said about the repercussions of the earth stopping its movement, it seems like if god can stop the earth, it isnt much more to maintain the forces of nature.
The very fact that the sun stopped on account of Joshua when joshua said so is testament to the fact that God is all knowing. It takes the sun's light about 8 hours to hit the earth, or something like that, so god must have stopped the earth before Joshua even new he was going to ask.
I still haven't read the text of the argument, and everything else, but this forum seemed very interesting, i just had to jump in.
I am a christian, obviously , and so i believe the bible is pperfectly accurate.
please let me know what you all are thinking (im sure you wont hesitate to give me a debate-beating )
