NASA & THE BIBLE

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 INDESCRIBABLE!!!

> 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
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 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?

> References: Joshua 10:8 and 12,13 and 2 Kings 20:9-11.

Forward this to as many people who you believe would think this
is equally as cool.
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.
All I have and all that I am is by the Grace of God!
