For 3 days the sun appears to stand still in the sky before apparently rising again on the 25th. Thanks to our understanding of celestial mechanics we understand why. Does this trouble christians? On the face of it it offers an explanation of the resurrection myth. Instead of a miraculous event it was really mysticism that the resurrection refers to

What makes you think something like that would ever bother christians we do study science, even have evolutionary science forced upon us in public schools.
Well I think the best thing to do with a response like that is to underline it. Perhaps you should watch a few Kent Hovind videos he can prove dinosaurs and men walked on the earth together. Better still he has photographic proof in a video documentary called the flintstones.
