And for those who still naively believe that the Bible is infallible, and must always be taken at face value, and not questioned; note that there is an error by one of them in the times. So do you reckon that God just sort of turned off the Sun one morning or afternoon? (whichever it is) I do believe there is a rational explanation, but it pains me to see that many people still cannot accept that there requires an analytical approach to reading the Bible. That some of it has been lost in translation, or metaphors have been taken literally. I will withhold what I believe to be the correct reading until I have seen how others interpret this.

I already knew about such questionable accounts, if you do some unbiased research you will discover there is little documented evidence of such an event. When people who want to believe everything in the scriptures as literal they often accept so called evidence without researching any further. This only gives ammunition to atheists who often accuse Christians of cherry picking unfortunately this accusation has some merit.

You need to understand what God is saying in the first place, because many people don't they argue the bible contradicts itself, you must know there are many parables and metaphors in the scriptures whose meaning is not immediately apparent. I try to take the things recorded there with the accuracy and meaning I think the writer intended.
God assumed we would apply logic when it came to reading the scriptures but few do, I have even heard people say God is not logical but that can't be true. God is the sole self-existent source of all being—everything that exists is in some way dependent on God for its existence including logic and the laws of physics.

Okay, well believing that the sun and the moon were stopped in the sky for a day in Joshua 10 isn’t illogical. An omnipotent God can make this happen easily.

God plans to not only destroy the earth but do signs in the sky first.
And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; Revelation:6:12
He will do several things in this one verse. God, who's all powerful, will make an earthquake occur just because He wanted one to occur, He will darken the sun, and change the moon. Would be dark times on earth literally with the land shaking.
Plus...those who think that the world can't be changed from it's preset laws is mistaken. Please, research something about it. Government has been changing the course of hurricanes and such. Weather can be controlled now by humans to a limit.

Well, first of all, I got my ladder. I then climbed my ladder with my welding mask on. I put my gloves on and I pushed real hard until the sun stopped. After 3 hours went by I kicked it really hard and it started moving again at the same pace.
