Could you please tell me where this is said, as I remember nothing of the sort. Joshua 10:12-13 Then spoke Joshua to the Lord in the day when the Lord gave the Amorites over to the men of Israel; and he said in the sight of Israel, "Sun, stand thou still at Gibeon, and thou Moon in the valley of Aijalon." And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the nation took vengeance on their enemies. Is this not written in the Book of Jashar? The sun stayed in the midst of heaven, and did not hasten to go down for about a whole day.

Ecclesiastes 1:5 The sun rises and the sun goes down, and hastens to the place where it rises.

They may seem trivial, but they were big enough that Galileo was nearly excommunicated because of them.
