We know that a star can not hover over a place on the earth. It can’t do that because the earth rotates.

Man can put geosynchronous satellites in orbit around the earth but God can't do that with a star?

And nobody said how long the star was up there anyway.

We know there can not be an eclipse of the sun when the moon is full. We know it can’t do that because to be full, it must be on the side of the earth away from the sun. To be an eclipse, it must be on the side of the earth close to the sun. The moon can’t be in two places at the same time.

If you made sense it might help. Where in Scripture is an eclipse of the sun by a full moon stated?

If the problem with “liberal” scholarship (the name itself suggests the fallacy that guides the work) is that a flimsy, fact-free, wordless Jesus could be a magician, a bandit, an eschatologist, a radical, a mad prophet, a sane one, a tax revolutionary, a reforming rabbi (anything but Jesus the son of God)–the mythical Jesus could be Hercules, Osiris, Mithras, a Pauline vision, a Jewish fantasy, a misremembered amalgam of folk tales, a rabbi’s targum about Joshua. In short–the mirror image of the confusion that the overtheoretical and under-resourced history of the topic had left strewn in the field. If the scarecrows concocted by the liberals were made from rubble, the mythtic Jesuses were their shadows. If the bad boys of the Jesus Seminar had effectively declared that the evidence to hand means Jesus can be anything you want him to be, there is some justice in the view that Jesus might be nothing at all.

Stars have to be large enough to give off light in order to be seen. That size is larger than Jupiter. The geosynchronos orbit distance is less than the radius of Jupiter. That means that, no, there can be no geosynchronos star.

Glad I could help you with that.
