Time didn't stop genius. The day was made longer so that Joshua and his army could kill more people.

If everything stops at the same time, nothing changes. :doh:

So, neither of you understood my comment.
I understood your comment, but you clearly don't understand some basic concepts. Did the sun and moon stop? That's the claim in the bible. Did everything stop? No. The only person making that claim is OldWiseGuy. The claim in the bible is that Joshua's army continued its slaughter while the sun stood still.

Stopping the sun and moon isn't like stopping your watch.

Funny how you can work that part out, but you don't seem to be able to grasp the simple concept that stopping the sun's movement doesn't stop time.

Feel free to keep demonstrating your lack of understanding. How deep can you dig that hole?

Dude, the sun and moon are the clocks that keep time. Feel free to continue adding the needless sarcasm. I'm used to it. :D

No, they really are not.

But let's humour you on this. Please explain:
1. The sun stopped moving, but Joshua's army continued killing. How did they do that if time had stopped?
2. Joshua 10:13 "...So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day" How did a whole day pass if time stood still?

Feel free to continue adding the needless sarcasm. I'm used to it. :D
It's not sarcasm. But you should be used to disparaging comments because you set yourself up for them so well. QED once again with that post.

Do you think he is serious? Could he really not understand that time is independent of the motion of the sun and planets? If so, that would explain his inability to grasp any of the simpler aspects of evolution that have been repeatedly presented to him. I'm bemused!

Maybe he listened to one too many academians who scratched himself nuts trying to figure out how 24 hours could have transpired without the sun?

I’m sure (not really) that you can support this assertion about the ”academians” who have stated this.

But "time" did stand still didn't it? By everything I meant everything that records time. Of course Joshua's army continued fighting during the 'time' that 'time stood still'. Sorry if I wasn't too clear about that.

Science is still struggling with the simpler aspects of evolution, namely the 'common ancestor'. They've built a complex theory on a premise that they cannot prove. They've got the 'chicken' but cannot find the 'egg'. And if they find the egg they cannot find the chicken.

Scientists don't fret about Joshua's long day, but they do scratch themselves sore over questions about evolution. Every paper is filled with assumptions, doubts, new hypothesis, etc. But we are to believe it while they sort it all out. :swoon:

Where do you get this nonsense from? I don't understand how you can remain so ignorant after all the information you have been spoon fed by members here. It's inconceivable to me! You are erecting strawmen constructed of imaginary straw. Astounding!
