Not all that long ago, according to best thinkers of the time, it seemed entirely logical based upon the information that they had at the time that the sun was dragged across the sky by a super natural human like being in a chariot. It was the conventional wisdom of the day. They were, of course, wrong. But they couldnt be proven wrong at that time. I believe it is human nature to credit things that we do not yet fully understand to super natural human like beings. After all, we have done it as a species for as long as there is a historic record and we continue to do it to this very day.
How do you know they were wrong, and we are right?
