NASA PROVES THE BIBLE IS TRUE


What do ya think about this;

For all you scientists out there and for all the students who have had
a hard time convincing these people regarding the truth of the Bible -
here's something that illustrates God's awesome creation and shows He is
still in control.

Did you know that NASA's space programmes are busy proving that what has
been called 'myth' in the Bible is true? Mr. Harold Hill, President of
the Curtis engine Company in Baltimore , and a consultant in the space
programmes, relates the following incident:

"One of the most amazing things that God has for us today happened
recently to our astronauts and space scientists at Green Belt, Maryland .
They were checking out the positions of the sun, moon and planets out in
space where they would be 100, and 1000 years from now. We have to know
this as we do not want a satellite to collide with any of these 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 project will not bog down.

Computer measurements and data were run back and forth over the
centuries when suddenly it came to a halt, displaying a red signal,
which meant that either there was something wrong 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 the technicians
asked what was wrong.

The scientists had discovered that somewhere in space in elapsed time a
day was missing.. Nobody seemed able to come up with a solution to the
problem.

Finally one of the team, a Christian, said: "You know, when I was still
in Sunday school, they spoke about the sun standing still."

While his colleagues didn't believe him, they did not have an answer
either, so they said: "Show us."

He got a Bible and opened it at the book of Joshua where they found a
pretty ridiculous statement for any one with 'common sense'. There they
read about the Lord saying to Joshua: "Fear them not, I have delivered
them into thy hand; there shall not be a man of them stand before thee."
(Joshua 10:8).

Joshua was concerned because the enemy had surrounded him, and if
darkness fell, they would overpower him. So Joshua asked the Lord to
make the sun stand still! That's right - "And the sun stood still and
the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their
enemies. Is this not written in the book of Ja'-sher? So the sun stood
still in the midst of heaven and hastened not to go down about a whole
day." (Joshua 10:13).

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, but it was 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 again and there it was: "about (approximately) a day."
These little words in the Bible were important, but they were still in
trouble, because another 40 minutes were still unaccounted for, and this
could mean trouble 1000 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 which
said the sun went backwards. The scientists told him he was out of his
mind, but once again they opened the Book and read these words in 2
Kings. Hezekiah, on his deathbed, was visited by the prophet, Isaiah,
who told him he was not going to die. Hezekiah asked for some sign as
proof. Isaiah said: "Shall the sun go forward ten degrees, or go back
ten degrees?"

And Hezekiah answered: "It is a light thing for the shadow to go down
ten degrees; nay, but let the shadow return backwards ten degrees."

And Isaiah the prophet cried unto the Lord, and He brought the shadow
ten degrees backward, by which it had gone down in the dial of Ahaz."
(2 Kings 20:9 -11).

Ten degrees is exactly 40 minutes! Twenty-three hours and twenty
minutes in Joshua, plus 40 minutes in 2 Kings accounted for the missing
day in the universe!

Isn't this amazing? Our God is rubbing their noses in His Truth!

Forward this to as many people who would think this is equally
astounding.

Huh?

They had data on the exact locations of the sun, moon and planets for every single day, back thousands of years?

That's the sort of data you'd need to find a 'missing day'. And without a time machine, that data would be impossible to get *head-scratch*

The people who know the most about this stuff (science nerds like myself) often know too much for these 'proofs' to hold much weight. This has nothing to do with how good the research is, or if the research agrees with the bible, but because of how we're trained to think. We doubt everything. No observation or simulation will ever be good enough. There are people I know that wouldn't believe if you called down fire from heaven a'la Kings 18, but would insist that there are other explanations that make more sense. That's because there usually are.

Your own personal testimony is the most powerful tool you have to reach these people. Ask yourself 'Why do I believe in Jesus?' If the answer is a NASA supercomputer, well... NASA doesn't always get things right...

My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness.
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly trust in Jesus’ Name.

On Christ the solid Rock I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand;
All other ground is sinking sand.

Interesting article. However, I suggest you check out Answers in Genesis on this one.

Snopes agrees.

You don't need God to do good work in this world. There's nothing waiting for you after you die and no ones judgment is valid but your own of yourself. Live the life you have to make the world a better place so that the legacy you leave is in the memories of others, Not to fulfill some holy mission for your friend in the sky.
