***Well then, I guess it’s not likely that J*sus was born of a virgin, changed water into wine, rose from the dead, performed/s transubstantiation either. After all, “the Bible is not a science or history textbook,” is it?***
No it is not. It is the attempt by men to describe God.
Joshua 10:
12
On this day, when the LORD delivered up the Amorites to the Israelites, Joshua prayed to the LORD, and said in the presence of Israel: Stand still, O sun, at Gibeon, O moon, in the valley of Aijalon!
13
3 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, while the nation took vengeance on its foes. Is this not recorded in the Book of Jashar? The sun halted in the middle of the sky; not for a whole day did it resume its swift course.
14
Never before or since was there a day like this, when the LORD obeyed the voice of a man; for the LORD fought for Israel.
Tell me. How long was this day? It says that the sun halted for a whole day. Was this day 48 hours? If it was not a 24 hour day (and we have adequate evidence that the days formerly were 25 hours and that the earth’s spin is speeding up), then how long were the first 6 days?
If the earth’s spin was slower as we go back in time, then how can you spout that the days were 24 hour days as we understand them? Perhaps the original days were thousands of years. How can you definitely refute that?

My, my, my. You "prove" that you aren't a hypocrite by poking fun at the miracle of the sun in the Book of Joshua? That's a winner. [sarcasm]
I sure hope you don't believe in the "miracle of the sun" at Fatima. That would just be more hypocrisy!
