Joshua's long day

[Cow Poke]

I watch a lot of Star Trek.

But God can do anything he wants. He created the universe. If he wanted to create a time bubble and speed up time inside it for Joshua, he could.

Joshua had this STOP watch...

I tend to think the solution might have something to do with what was meant by standing still. For instance the word solstice comes from the Latin word solstitium, meaning "sun standing still." No, I'm not saying that is what took place but rather noting that the term might have meaning not common now.

And of course there is always the good old trusty Got Questions for a good over view: Is it true that the sun stood still?

One of the marks of a biblical miracle is that we're left wondering how it happened. The feeding of the 5,000 - did the bread "grow", did Jesus just keep breaking pieces off the loaf, and the loaf didn't get smaller...

As for the fish - I got that one! It was tuna, and tuna goes a LONG long way.

Don't forget the moon stood still too.

12 ...“Sun, stand still at Gibeon,

and moon, in the Valley of Aijalon.”

13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stopped,

until the nation took vengeance on their enemies.

There was a bad storm too, so how could the human observers know exactly what happened?

What storm?

[Christianbookworm]

Hailstones equal bad storm right?

[Sparko]

Hailstones equal bad storm right?

I missed that.

You can get hailstones on a mostly clear sky. I've seen it happen.

[Christianbookworm]

Hailstones big enough to kill?

[Cerebrum123]

Hailstones big enough to kill?

One of them was pretty close to the size of my fist(at the time), so yeah.

And there we have it: a very high probability that it did indeed happen

By that logic why should people not also believe that there is a giant teapot orbiting the earth and pixies, unicorns, and elves really do exist?

Have you declared there are not?

Prove they don't.

That doesn't invalidate the possibility that standing still might have been understood in a way we are not familiar with today.
