So, the question is what happened during the miracle of the sun. Did Our Lady just work an optical illusion? That would really weaken the nature of the miracle, and I don't believe it consistent with the honor that God sought to bring to her Immaculate Heart with it. So we must hold that there was something real and physical taking place. I recall St. Thomas writing something along these lines on another topic.
So the sun was plunging toward the earth. If we accept NASA cosmology, this would mean that the entire world should have seen it.
So if it wasn't some optical illusion and the entire world did not see it, that can only mean one thing ...
that the sun is much closer (i.e. local) and smaller than is believed.
This is to say nothing of the fact that the entire earth would likely have been nearly incinerated, as there should have been a very high temperature spike, not only at Fatima but worldwide.
Then if you look at the Joshua example, if you buy NASA cosmology, the rotation of the earth must have stopped, rather than the movement of the sun. While God could of course suspend these effects, naturally speaking the effects on the earth would have been devastating ... massive tidal waves, tsunamies, problems with "gravity", etc.
In any case, unless one wants to hold that the Fatima Miracle of the Sun was an optical illusion, an effect on what just the people at Fatima saw, an effect on their optical nerves, it should have been seen worldwide and would also have caused major effects around the world. For the sun to get larger, it would have to close in on the earth by millions of miles.
