• NASA and the Bilble

  
  
  Thought this was pretty amazing and interesting!!
  
  For all the scientists out there, and for all the students who have a hard
  time convincing these people regarding the truth of the Bible, here's
  something that shows God's awesome creation, and that He is still in
  control.
  
  Did you know that the space program is busy proving that what has been
  called "myth" in the Bible is true?
  
  Mr. Harold Hill, President of the Curtis Engine Company in Baltimore ,
  Maryland , and a consultant in the space program, relates the following
  development.
  
  I think one of the most amazing things that God has done for us today
  happened recently to our astronauts and space scientists at Green Belt,
  Maryland. "They were checking out where the positions of the sun, moon,                                                         and planets would be 100 years and 1,000 years from now. We have to know this so we
  won't send up a satellite and have it bump into something later on in its
  orbits.
  
  We have to lay out the orbits in terms of the life of the satellite and
  where the planets will be so the whole thing will not bog down. They ran the
  computer measurement back and forth over the centuries, and it came to a
  halt. The computer stopped and put up a red signal, which meant that there
  was something wrong with either the information fed into it or with the
  results as compared to the standards.
  
  They called in the service department to check it out, and they said,
  'What's wrong?' Well, they found there is a day missing in space in elapsed
  time.
  
  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 finally 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.
  
  Forty minutes had to be found because it can be multiplied many times over
  in orbits. As the Christian employee thought about it, he remembered
  somewhere in the Bible where it said the sun went BACKWARDS.
  
  The scientists told him he was out of his mind, but they got out the Book
  and read these words in 2 Kings that told of the following story: Hezekiah,
  on his death bed, was visited by the prophet Isaiah who told him he was not
  going to die. Hezekiah asked for a sign as proof. Isaiah said 'Do you want
  the sun to go ahead 10 degrees?'
  
  Hezekiah said, 'It is nothing for the sun to go ahead 10 degrees, but let
  the shadow return backward 10 degrees.' Isaiah spoke to the Lord, and the
  Lord brought the shadow ten degrees BACKWARD! Ten degrees is exactly 40
  minutes!
  
  Twenty-three hours and 20 minutes in Joshua, plus 40 minutes in Second Kings
  make the missing day in the universe! Isn't it amazing?
  
  References: Joshua 10:8 and 12, 13 and 2 Kings 20:9-11.
  
  If God could do this then; how much more can he do for us today. If we ONLY
  believe in his word.
  
  Never be afraid to try something new, like trust in a Power that is greater
  than our selves.
