NASA and the Bible

NASA and the Bible

For all the scientists out there, and
for all the students who have a hard time convincing these
people regarding the truth of the Bible,here's something that shows
God's awesome creation, and that He is still in control.

Did you know that the space program is busy proving that what has
been called "myth" in the Bible is true? Mr. Harold Hill, President of the Curtis Engine Company in Baltimore, Maryland,
and a consultant in the space program, relates the following
development :

"I think one of
the
most amazing things that God has done for us today happened recently to
our astronauts and space scientists at Green Belt,Maryland.
They were checking out where the positions of the sun, moon, and planets would be 100 years and 1,000
years from now. We have to know this so we won't send up a
satellite and have it bump into something later on in
its orbits. We have to lay out the orbits in terms of the
life of the satellite and where the planets will be so the whole thing will not bog down."

They ran the computer
measurement back and forth over the centuries, and it came to
a halt. The computer stopped and put up a red
signal, = 20 which meant that there was something wrong
with either the information =20 fed into it or with the
results as compared to the standards.

They called in the service department to check it out, and they
said,=20 "What's wrong?' Well, they found there is a day missing in space in =20 elapsed time. They scratched their heads and
tore their hair.

There was no answer.

Finally a Christian man on
the team said, "You know, one time I was in Sunday School, and
they talked about the sun standing still". While they
didn't believe him, they didn't have an answer either, so they said, "Show us." He got a Bible
and went to the book of Joshua where they found a pretty ridiculous statement for any one with 'common
sense.' There they found the Lord saying to Joshua, "Fear them not, I have delivered them
into thy hand; there shall not a man of them stand before
thee." Joshua was concerned because he was surrounded by the
enemy, and if darkness fell, they would overpower them. So
Joshua asked the Lord to make the sun stand still! That's
right...' The sun stood still and the moon stayed and lasted
not to go down about a whole day!' (Joshua 10:12-13)

The astronauts and scientists said, 'There is the missing day!'
They checked the computers going back into the time it was
written and found it was close but not close enough. The elapsed
time that was missing back in Joshua's day was 23 hours
and 20 minutes...not a whole day.

"They read the Bible, and there it was 'about (approximately) a day.
These little words in the Bible are important, but they were still
in trouble because if you cannot account for 40 minutes, you'll
still be in trouble 1,000 years from now. Forty minutes had to be found because it can be multiplied many times over in orbits.
"As
the Christian employee thought about it, he remembered somewhere in the Bible where it said the sun went BACKWARDS. The
scientists told him he was out of his mind, but they got out
the Book and read these words in 2 Kings that told of
the following story:

Hezekiah, on his deathbed, was visited by the prophet Isaiah who
told him that he was not going to die. Hezekiah asked for a sign as proof. Isaiah said 'Do you want the sun to go
ahead 10 degrees? Hezekiah said, It is
nothing for the sun to go ahead 10 degrees, but let the shadow
backward 10 degrees.' Isaiah spoke to the Lord, and the Lord brought the shadow ten degrees BACKWARD!

"Ten degrees is exactly 40 minutes! Twenty-three hours and 20
minutes in Joshua, plus 40 minutes in Second Kings make the missing day in the universe!"
Isn't it amazing?

References: Joshua 10:8 and 12, 13 and 2 Kings 20:9-11.

Forward this to as many people who you believe should believe in
God's awesome power. Remember, amateurs built the ark.
Professionals built the Titanic.
