    << Dear Colleagues:

    A dear friend sent me a story about a NASA contractor discovering evidence
    that the sun must have stood still about a day (Joshua 10:8 and 12,13) and
    even gone backwards ten degrees (2 Kings 20:9-11) at some time in the past.

    Does anyone know the history of this urban legend? I'd like to send that
    to my friend too. >>

    This tale has been pretty thoroughly studied and debunked. For a thorough treatment from an Evangelical Christian source, see:

    Also relevant and possibly interesting is this essay I wrote:
