The circle of the Earth? Eeeer. Isaiah 40:22 or so, I think?
The bit about God stopping the sun comes from a fight Joshua had with... somebody.
It only makes sense to say 'stops the sun'. If they said 'stops the earth' people around there would be going 'Wait, what?'
... That seems like a bit of a stretch to me...
Eh, why? I rather think the effect is the most important not exactly how it happened, at least to the people fighting. If I stopped the Earth rotating for them I wouldn't bother to explain to them exaclty what I did if they thought the sun was stopped instead.
But this is someone who's assuming that everything written in the Bible is true, and that God does not allow for mistakes.
That's my only problem. If you're coming from the perspective that it's going through an intermediary that can get thing wrong, I don't mind and find a lot of contradictions to magically vanish in that.
Eh I was just assuming God wouldn't bother to even explain to them or try to get them to write out what exactly happened since it seems somewhat irrelevant. It wasn't that the intermediary even interpreted what God said wrong, God didn't tell the intermediary what exactly occured since it wasn't important to teach everyone that the Earth circled the sun. Of course it's a guess but I think it makes sense.
