However, what's NOT the same is when you apply FE or GE to something like the book of Joshua.
Remember when Joshua prayed that the sun would stand still, and lengthen the day, so they could pursue their fleeing enemy?
In the GE model the earth would have to stop spinning, which would cause everyone to suddenly fly through the air at hundreds of miles an hour. Massive tsunamis would have occurred. It's ridiculous when you think about it.
Long story short, people who are taught MODERN SCIENCE are going to tend to dismiss the historical accuracy of that event. They will dismiss it as an allegory, fable, myth, or something similar. But they won't question the cosmological beliefs/opinions of mainstream science. They will sooner question the WORD OF GOD, HOLY SCRIPTURE than they would question or contradict the High Priests of "Science!" or "the Science".
