In Proof for God's Non-existance? pbee made the following statements
pbee writes:
Joshua's long day; (plausible)
Reversing Shadows; (plausible)
And why would we conclude the earth stopped rotating? I could think of all sorts of scientifically plausible methods to extend daylight without altering the movement of the planets.
Since it was the witching hour for the thread {and also off topic}
I thought I would ask for an elaboration on this statement from pbee since I am fascinated that the term plausible could ever be applied to the stories from Joshua.
So pbee {or anyone else caring to participate} I implore you to present your arguement concerning this issue to allow me a chance to understand your POV.
I suppose this could go in Miscellaneous Topics in Creation/Evolution.

Narrowing and reframing this topic
Are you specifically asking pbee (and other creationists) why they think that stopping a planets rotation is plausible, or are you speaking of Joshua in general? Try and reword your opening post without addressing pbee specifically. Perhaps you could title it Scientific Plausibility of alleged Acts of God.(Your current title is OK too! )

Phat
I am asking pbee in particular but anyone else who may care to participate from the creationists side may also have at it.
