"Has the sun ever stood still in the sky for 24 hours?" (Alleged Contradiction #E6232)
While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
Genesis 8:22
Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon. And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.
Joshua 10:12-13
Response
Genesis 8:22 never says that the sun would never stand still: it simply says that “day and night shall not cease.” When the sun stood still for Joshua, day and night were delayed, but they did not cease.
