Joshua long day?

RE: Joshua long day?
Who is Joshua Long and what has he done to deserve his own day? Justin Long, now that's a great guy. But Joshua? Sounds like a nobody.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

It's a combination of coincidence and utter bullsh*t, but mostly - bullsh*t, just like all stories in holy books.

BTW - ever been to northernmost parts of the Earth, like Finland? A "day" can last half a year there. I wonder where did people, who made up the Joshua story, could get the idea?... Nah - most likely it's just the fact, that primitive people tend to make up independently the same bullsh*t all over the world, because their ignorant, fearful little brains work in the same way. Humans - being a single species - tend to crave the same simple things - safety, food, sex, and their fairy-tales reflect that, regardless of geography.

And it so happens, that super-long days are a wet dream of most people, who can't function very well in darkness, while their predators - can. Not to mention that sun was necessary for growing food and long days were the ones when food was relatively plentiful, in technologically undeveloped cultures.

God sure does like screwing around. If he wants Joshua or whoever to win, he can just flick all his enemies off into space instantly. Why always with the theatrics?
