Lost Day
Was the "Lost Day" from the Bible proven
scientifically?
RE: Joshua 10:12,13 and 2 Kings 20:8 thru 11
NO! That is a total hoax!

Go to snopes.com and search for "lost day". You will find the full
explanation where I got this quote:
"... Although the notion of a "lost day" in time has been circulating for well
over a century, the version cited here — the one that has been bedevilling NASA
since the 1960s — achieved pre-eminence through the tireless efforts of Mr.
Harold Hill, who was indeed both a real person and the President of the Curtis
Engine Company. However, he had no real connection to NASA, he was not a
"consultant in the space program," and he did not witness the events described.
Mr. Hill heard a "lost day" legend that had been circulating for many years,
embellished it with some details about NASA scientists, and delighted in
repeating it when speaking before school groups. His version of the legend made
its way into various church bulletins and was eventually picked up and spread by
the mainstream media as well, and he devoted a whole chapter to it in his 1974
book, How to Live Like a King’s Kid. (This book lent additional credibility to
his tenuous NASA connections — and thus to the legend itself -- when he stated
that he "was involved [in the space program] from the start, through contractual
arrangements with my company." His "involvement" was merely that the Curtis
Engine Company had a contract with NASA to service electrical generators.) Even
Hill's admission that he hadn't actually witnessed the events he described
clearly wasn't intended to dissuade anyone from believing in the literal
truthfulness of his story: "[M]y inability to furnish documentation of the
'Missing day' incident in no way detracts from its authenticity."
Authenticity matters little, though — our willingness to accept legends depends
far more upon their expression of concepts we want to believe than upon their
plausibility. If the sun once really did stand still for a day, the best
evidence we'd have for proving it would be the accounts of people who saw it
happen. That is what the Bible is said to offer.
Some of us accept that, and some of us don't."
=============================================
The whole point behind my posting this info here is
that a certain TV preacher in the United States claimed that scientists had
proven the reality of that "lost day". I merely offer proof that this preacher
was wrong.
Nothing of what I posted makes the Bible look stupid.
Take a closer look at this part of the quoted words from snopes.com:
"If the sun once really did stand still for a day, the best evidence we'd have
for proving it would be the accounts of people who saw it happen. That is what
the Bible is said to offer."
