Prove to you that people that spent hours staring at the sun didn't experience it magically moving around in the sky? What's next? Proving Mohammed didn't split the moon in half?
The very nature of the thing is absurd. Firstly, staring at the sun can make you see all kinds of shit. Secondly, eyewitness testimony is extremely unreliable, and not everyone saw the same thing. Thirdly, how come only people at this location saw the sun move around? Wouldn't millions upon millions around the globe have seen it, and wouldn't it have had catastrophic gravitational effects? Fourthly, Catholics have never been above just making miracles like this up.
I could keep going, but is it really even necessary to debunk such garbage? Are you sure you're not really a believer in disguise trying to play the whole "prove me wrong" card?

Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
