And as I pointed out, light refraction caused by atmospheric conditions can cause strange things.

The question that I am asking and that you keep avoiding is whether you believe that it happened the way the Bible said it did? Then you can try and explain how the Moon stayed in one place for an extra day : )

Lets not forget that your “gods” the scientists believed in the Piltdown man for many years till it was proven as a hoax and in another 100 years many things you believe in today will now be considered “old hat”.

Scientific theories are only 'good' until they are over turned with evidence. I fully expect that all of our scientific theories will need modification as we increase our understanding. That is the difference between science and religion, you are stuck defending what some dead guy said 4000 years ago who you know is wrong. Science just admits it was wrong and moves on, wiser and better.

Why should I avoid it. I wasn’t there. I could have been the sun, the GLORY of the Lord (which you don’t believe in), a brilliant comet, an extra brite sun dog. To those on the ground it appeared that the sun had stood still and wrote it as so. The point is they won the battle.

Even today there is great discussion on what the star of Bethlehem was. Star? comet? Glory of the Lord?

I could show you several things from the secular histories of Herodotus which may get you to call him a liar, but that is another story.
