Scientist amazed at our GOD, undeniable truth.

NASA & THE BIBLE

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 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 ti mes 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 that 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?
