The author of this article is right in that we Christians must be careful doing things such as that NASA rumor about proving the missing day in the Bible.

This author seems to forget that all things are possible with God.

Did God slow the Earth's rotation in its current orbital path?

We must look at the events of Isaiah 38:8. If the sun appeared to move backwards either the earth had to rotate backwards or the sun moved. If the Earth rotated backwards there would be cataclysmic effects on earth. Massive Winds, tidal waves and earthquakes alone would probably wipeout mankind, so this idea must be discarded.


God has the power to rotate the earth backwards. He also has the power to prevent the cataclysmic effects on the earth from such an event from happening. The rules of science does not apply to God since He is the one that makes those rules.
