Martin Luther took it literally.

"There was mention of a certain astrologer who wanted to prove that the earth moves and not the sky, the sun, and the moon. This would be as if somebody were riding on a cart or in a ship and imagined that he was standing still while the earth and the trees were moving." [Luther remarked] "So it goes now. Whoever wants to be clever must agree with nothing that others esteem. He must do something of his own. This is what that fellow does who wishes to turn the whole of astronomy upside down. Even in these things that are thrown into disorder I believe the Holy Scriptures, for Joshua commanded the sun to stand still and not the earth [Jos. 10:12]."
I give you a link to a site defending Luther, just so you can get the context right. I am not arguing that Luther was stupid. On the contrary I'm sure his IQ was vastly higher than mine.
What I am arguing is that when there is a conflict between the literal words of the Bible and our best and most carefully studied perception of reality, then we must reconsider our interpretation of the Bible. You might note that none of this impinges on morality. Science is descriptive. It does not tell us what is right and what is wrong.
