Bible Question: Does anyone have documentation about NASA saying that this extra day "the sun stood still" needed to be figured in to make their calculations correct? |
Bible Answer: Hello Pastor Barney, It is incorrect to say something proves an item in the Bible. If something proves the Bible then that something becomes the final authority, not the Bible. God's word is its own authority. We don't prove the Bible. We start with the Bible, God's revelation of truth to man, and prove everything else by it. A proper understanding is that sometimes something --corroborates-- an item or two in Scripture. But it in no way supports upholds or proves God's Word. God's Word is the final authority, not the discoveries or scientific or ecclesiastic pontifications of man. Ps 119:105 Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path. Ps 119:130 The unfolding of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple. John 17:17 "... Your word is truth." Peace, |
