Do you honestly believe that God is incapable of stopping the motion of the planets at will?

That depends entirely on what you mean by stopping. If you mean stopping the planets in a way that has no physical consequences, then you have a variant of Last Thursdayism. God can doe anything without leaving a trace.

If you mean stopping the planets in a way consistent with physical laws, without causing noticeable trouble for the inhabitants of earth, you are saying something entirely different.

If you play by the rules of evidence, then certain major miracles have not left any evidence. This does not mean they didn't happen. It just means they didn't leave evidence.

If you want your faith based entirely on evidence then you have a problem.

And you, otoh, think He can't; right?
