So we are allowed to interpret when reading the tenth chapter of the Book of Joshua, but not when reading the first two chapters of the Book of Genesis? The literal words of Joshua state the the sun stood still. If we are to read Scriptures literally and this passage means simply that the day was extended, then why doesn't it simply say that "...the day was extended"? Once we open Scriptures up to interpretation, there ceases to be any problem with incompatibility of the Scriptures with evolution.
The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, right? Doesn't the sun 'move' from the perspective of a person on earth? So as a man, like Joshua on earth, what does it mean to you when the sun stands still? There are too options, either the earth altered its rotation or the sun stopped rotating around the earth. Both can be literal interpretations but you choose the more unlikely one.
By the way, the literal interpretation is still an interpretation so I don't know how you read the Bible much less anything else without interpreting it.
