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.
