I read something a long time ago that said that NASA did some research and when info was put into their computers about "i think star constelations" that the computer glitched somewhere when they were running the senarios and they reinstalled the info for that "lost time" and it corrected the computer. the info I could not tell you anything else about it and it may be something I heard or read and could be completely unfounded or another explanation has been found why. but thats what I remember. +3

Stood still relative to what? How would you know if the Earth stood still, if all the other things carried on behaving in the way they always did. The easiest way of interpreting this is "stood still relative to the sun" i.e. the sun stopped "rising" and "setting". The first question is how you would know it did so for a day, when a day is often measured by sunset and sunrise, which ave just been stopped. And the answer, for this purpose, is No. Stopping the Earth's rotation would produce earthquakes all over the world worse than any ever recorded, accompanied by tidal waves that would devastate every community within tens of miles of the sea. Such a calamity would leave marks all over the world and, since we cannot see them, we can conclude that such a disaster has not happened within the last ten million years or so.

What a ridiculous question. Im Alec has it completely right.
-
Yeah. They made a film about it in the 50's. Oh hang on, that would be a work of fiction wouldn't it...
-
Well, if you don't believe, why do you give a shit?? If you do believe, then why ask?? such idiocy I see daily from this place...Sheesh..
-
Actually, the Biblical account said that the SUN stood still... It's a matter of faith, so science cannot prove or disprove it.
-
How could something like that even be proven? I don't think there is any way to prove this, especially because it happened so many years ago. The Bible is the inspirited word of God, and if it said it happened, then it happened.

12-0802016 You don't have to read much history to realize that the sky above the Earth looked very different just a few thousand years ago. For instance, the ancient Egyptians recorded that there were two suns before the one we have now. You might wonder why the ancients named their god after a planet that most people now can't even point to. Well, they were quite explicit about that: they didn't worship gods named for planets, they worshiped the planets. In ancient days, Jupiter and Saturn dominated the sky, and Venus and Mars put on quite a show for a long time. Here is a careful investigation of ancient myths and legends, considering stories in hundreds of languages from all over the world and going back to 10,500 BC. It is very long, and it is still in progress. http://saturniancosmology.org/
