One example is Joshua 10.12-13: Joshua tells the sun and the moon to stand still and they do so. He doesn’t tell the earth to stop rotating.

Perhaps Joshua was informed of the laws of relativity. Per relativity, it is equally true to say the sun and stars move around the Earth, as it is to say that the earth revolves and creates the apparent motion.

I am curious, are you approaching the above as a Christian? I ask because if you can process Jesus Christ changing a few loaves of bread and a few fish into a bounty for thousands to eat, then why the problem with God adjusting the 'clock' for His chosen?

Better yet, does what happens in Joshua 10 compare to Christ Jesus rising from the dead three days later?
