NASA (Science) & GOD ( 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
shows 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 for us today
happened recently to our astronauts and space scientists at Greenbelt,
Maryland. They were checking the position of the sun, moon, and planets
out in space where they would be 100 years and 1000 years from now.
We have to know this so we won't send a satellite, up 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,
which meant  that there was something wrong either with the information
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,
"What's wrong?"
Well, they found  there is a day missing in space in 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 back 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 hasted 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
tory:

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 return
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 believe and don't believe that THERE IS
A GOD!
