The earth revolves around the sun, not the other way around. Ever since the priest Nicolaus Copernicus pointed out that the book of Joshua got it wrong, science has challenged religion.
Joshua 10: 12-13
"O sun, stand still over Gibeon,
O moon, over the valley of Aijalon."
So the sun stood still
and the moon stopped,
till the nation avenged itself on its enemies,
as is written in the Book of Jashar.
The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day.
Copernicus lived in the 16th century. Copernicus understood that the earth was rotating but at that time no one could detect it. At that time, lack of evidence was accepted as the sun revolved around the earth. Galileo using a telescope taught and wrote, proving that the earth revolved, as Copernicus claimed.
A miracle happened in Joshua 10: 12-13. The day was longer than usual. God controls nature. And on that day, God's intervention saved the people.
Science should respect religion, not challenge it.
