Someone just relayed a story to me about how NASA had to use the bible to figure out launch times and return times for the early space flights. they said that there calculations were not turning out as they should and this christian scientist told them the story about how the earth stood still when moses raised his staff during a battle that was being waged and for that time the earth stood still. so they found the amount of time and added it into their calculations and everything turned out correct then??

does anyone know of this to be a fact??

hmpf

snopes says false and then says its because its implausable

that's not the definition of false

but, does snopes say whether or not it has been confirmed or denied by NASA? I'll read the article.

there is a story in the bible on this and time being stopped or a day lengthened or shortened, can't recall at the moment, now you got me wanting to look it up, I may later, kinda busy at the moment though. there is some difference with time then as solar time and now as lunar time,

Just read snopes, i have to agree its a bad story based on hearsay and not evidence. unless someone can show that NASA officials actually say this took place i will have to believe its a ploy by this man to sell books and earn money from appearances and lecture as as many other evangelicals have done and are doing, thanks for the snopes site. i have copied and saved to send to my friend who told me this - hope he takes it to heart.

Tribo, slight hijack here, but i posted in ur other thread, would like to hear ur views :)

Its not true Tribo. Its a hoax.

the sayer of those words was micheal renee, do you know what his name was in the movie?

correct mirror, didn't take much to figure it out once i read snopes. thnx.

Klaatu was his name in the movie

Tribo.....scopes may say false....but hey....there are scriptures given to back up what is being said here.......and as a Christian..heyyyy....I Know scripture doesn't lie.
Nothing false here at all!!
In fact, did some study on this myself some years ago.


In the old testament , it is mentioned where TIME STOOD STILL for ABOUT a day ...

Joshua, upon being encamped about by the enemy, was concerned that if darkness fell ,the enemy would overpower them.

So Joshua called upon the Lord and asked the Lord to make the sun stand still.

"The sun stood still and the moon stayed....and hastened not to go down for a whole day" ( Joshua 10: 12-13 )
(the elapsed time came out to be 23 hours and 20 minutes).


In the old testament, it also mentions ,where time went BACKWARDS.

Hezekiah , being sick on his deathbed, was visited by the Prophet Isaiah, who told him he would not die.

Hezehiah asked for proof that this was true..and so then ,The Prophet asked the Lord to make the sun go back 10 degrees (as seen on the sundial), and the sun went backwards 10 degrees, instead of forward.(10 degrees equal 40 minutes).

The missing day is the 23 hours and 20 minutes in Joshua's day.....
plus
the 40 minutes in Hezehiah's day.......

which added up , is the equivalent of one whole day missing.

I knew that they new things were not like they were supposed to be and they used that to figure it right, but I didn't know about NASA using it. Pretty neat.

i understand all of that my lady, what i was reffering to was NASA having used this to figure out thr space flight program, thats bull and you know it. this man had nothing to do with NASA in that sense nor did they ever use the bible to figure trajetirys or time lines out by whats stated there, thus a lie, canard, untruth, hoax.
