Here's the letter (below) that's been circulating within
Christiandom which has also caught the attention of many secular
humanists, who've been busy circulating counter letters of their
own. I might add that there's an element within Christianity that
thinks NASA is a government agency which is actually hostile
towards Christianity and is trying to discredit it.

Search the web if you want, and decide for yourself what is going
on behind the scenes. Here's the letter.....

NASA & The Bible

For all the scientists out there, and for all the students who have a
hardtime 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 GreenBelt, 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,which meant that there
was something wrong with either 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 theysaid,
'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!' (Joshua10:12-13)"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 introuble 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 somewherein the Bible where it said the sun went
BACKWARDS. The scientiststold 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 death bed, 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 SecondKings make
the missing day in the universe!" Isn't it amazing?References:
Joshua 10:8 and 12,13 and 2 Kings 20:9-11.
