Wait, aren't we talking earth standing still here?
You scientists with your fancy ideas! Read your Bible; it clearly says that the sun stood still. (Joshua 10:13)
The way you are approaching the matter, you will next be telling us that the Bible is a bunch of ramblings of primitive, superstitious goat herders!
Really, the Bible so is very wrong, it would have to be corrected to be just plain wrong. As you are right to point out, it isn't the sun that would be standing still for the appearance of the sun to be standing still. And that never happened, either. It is wrong in the story it tells, and it is wrong in its explanation of what would have happened if the story were true. The Bible has layer upon layer of being wrong.
