Poking fun? You call me a hypocrite and when I point out that Joshua had the sun stand still and that that day was longer than 24 hours

Pardon me, but how was I to know this? You have plainly rejected the words of the Bible in Genesis, so I assumed you were ridiculing the idea that the sun and moon actually stood still. How was I to know you arbitrarily decided to concede that G-d told the truth in the latter case but not the former?

If you believe in so many supernatural phenomena, then what is it about the first eleven chapters of Genesis that so frighten or offend you?

I know that this isn't your usual thing, but since wideawake is no longer with us you might possibly want to say something to all the loud voices of evolution and Biblical "errancy" on this thread loudly invoking your Church as their authority.

***Poking fun? You call me a hypocrite and when I point out that Joshua had the sun stand still and that that day was longer than 24 hours

Pardon me, but how was I to know this?***

Because you and I have spoken before. Because I outlined the process of the earth speeding up its rotation over time.

***You have plainly rejected the words of the Bible in Genesis,***

I do not reject the theology of Genesis and it should have been plain in our past dealings.

***How was I to know you arbitrarily decided to concede that G-d told the truth in the latter case but not the former?***

I have never said that God does not tell the truth. I merely stated that the days were longer all those years ago. How long? Can you speculate or say with any surety?

*** If you believe in so many supernatural phenomena, then what is it about the first eleven chapters of Genesis that so frighten or offend you?***

It is the misinterpretation of various sections of the Bible that is dangerous, not the actual content. Misinterpreting Genesis is no less dangerous than misinterpreting Paul.
