The Bible is a heavily redacted account of campfire and bedtime stories of ignorant tent-dwelling bronze-age nomads, NOT a textbook. To give you an idea how ignorant they were: they did not even know that Earth is a planet that is orbiting a star, and that the Sun is that star. Not only did Joshua not made the Sun to stand still, because he could not; there is also no evidence to support the idea that he ever existed: > He made all the virgin Amorite girls hold up their mirrors to reflect > the magnetic field the other way, [...] Mirrors do not "reflect magnetic fields". They reflect _light_, which is (best described as) an electromagnetic wave: an oscillation of electric and magnetic fields that _stay in place_ while that happens. > so the earth stopped spinning while his men finished slaughtering the > rest of the Amorites. Then Josh's men ravished their new concubines. > They were the sluttiest virgins. You are just trolling, right? Otherwise I suggest that you also attend a real school, not just Sunday school.
