Reality..........the majority of the Bible's history can be tested by Applied Science and History Actual. Of the entire Bible (66 books in the OT and 39 in the NT)......out of 31,202 verses contained in the bible.......there are but 120 acts of the miraculous presented. Thus, the vast majority of the history can be tested for truth. Simply prove through an act of Applied Science (facts, not theories) or History Actual (documented and producible) that provides the objective evidence that the Bible has been untruthful........in the parts of the Bible that can be tested when and where it can be tested.
If not...........I accept the 120 miracles as truth based upon the prima facie evidence that the Bible has never been proven to anything but on the side of truth.
What? You have never heard of the biblical explanation for acts of the "miraculous"? Its Called..............Super (as in superior) Natural (to nature). No one can explain any event that by self definition cannot be quantified by the Laws of Physics......I can no more prove how a miracle takes place than YOU can prove that it did not take place by attempting to apply the laws of physics to measure a SUPERIOR CAUSE that the laws of physics is not capable of measuring (Example........Explain where the energy came from that produced the so called big bang, instead of simply ASSUMING it created itself from nothing in contradiction to the laws of physics)....now that is some dogma that takes more than faith to accept.
You cannot disprov any miracle unless you have a super-natural-0-meter in your ass pocket. If God can create reality from nothing.......and make the laws of physics to govern it, what would stop God from preforming a simple Miracle such as in Jonah's circumstance? Who is going to stop the God of creation from controlling the very reality that He created?
Why believe the statements as being literal? Because the Bible is a record of EYEWITNESS ACCOUNTING (2 Peter 1:12-17) and that account stands as truth (in a prima facie manner) until YOU or anyone can provide the Objective, Testable, Repeatable evidences...i.e., documented facts that prove the testimonies false. Even the bible can be a witness in its own defense.....if not that is very FASCIST of you or anyone that claims the bible can not be used as evidence.......even eyewitness evidence.
One thing is certain...Jesus as described in the Holy Scriptures accepted Jonah's mission as a literal truth. (Matthew 12:40-41) Jonah was told to deliver a message to bring a message from God to the people of Nineveh, Jonah did not want to go, it was not because Jonah was afraid of the evil nature of the people he might encounter.....it was because He was prideful, he thought himself superior to those that God was warning as he (Jonah) always walked the straight and narrow and did not want to associate himself among the godless. If God inspired someone to record that Jonah spent 3 days inside a fish/whale.....what would limit the God of creation from making it happen?
Jonah even attempted to hide from God, but soon learned that was impossible (Ps. 139:7-12). God sent word a 2nd time for Jonah and he was forced to go......but he had but 40 days until God would bring judgment upon that nation (Jonah 3:1-4).
The people of Nineveh believed Jonah and God withheld its destruction (Jonah 3:5-10)

Any attempt to declare these miraculous acts are fake by application of the natural laws of physics is moot........as per the very definition of a super (superior) natural (to nature) act. You can no more prove, via a demonstration of natural laws....that such acts are not true, than I can prove they are such, thus, the acceptance of the Prima Facie evidences from "eyewitness accounts" of the majesty of Jesus Christ. (2 Peter 1:16)........and these eyewitness accounts stand as truth, as far as any reasonable or logical person is concerned......until YOU or anyone can introduce OBJECTIVE FACTS IN EVIDENCE THAT PROVE THESE WITNESSES WERE NOT PRESENTING TRUTH.
