Subject: Did Jonah die in the belly of the fish? |
Bible Note: Actually, I read the story first hand, so it's not a "fantastic story". Also, there are accounts of Sperm Whales growing large enough to be able to hold a man inside. Also given the hebrew word could also mean fish, there are accounts of sharks being found with a whole horse inside. There is evidence there, if you are willing to actually look. As for supporting religious claims with supportable and researchable fact, tell me this. Who would you be more willing to listen to and take seriously? A person who talks of ghosts, spirits, drinking blood, eating flesh, and believing in something you can't see, hear, taste, smell, or feel? Or someone who talks to you about events in history and mentions the proofs and is willing and able to back up every single claim with historical evidence? Between the two .. I would dismiss the first person as a street corner shaman that needs to see a doctor and talk to the later. Jesusman |
