There is discussion here: hermeneutics.stackexchange.com/questions/106/… and hermeneutics.stackexchange.com/questions/22975/… Anyway, merry Christmas, happy Hanukkah and peace! | |

| Dec 24, 2016 at 20:23 | comment | added | DavePhD | @William You're underestimating people's faith in the bible. Of course there are people who believe there literally were unicorns. biblescienceforum.com/2016/07/16/… I went to a literal Bible-believe school up to 8th grade. When the Bible says the sun's shadow went backward 10 degrees, we were taught in school that is exactly what literally happened. There are absolutely millions of believers that believe literally, but most literal believes take the Jonah story as a miracle, not what would happen normally. | |

| Dec 22, 2016 at 23:15 | comment | added | called2voyage | @Sklivvz I understand. I'm just saying that the text is not a claim of that. If the text were considered historical it could be considered a claim of that. | |
| Dec 22, 2016 at 23:12 | comment | added | Sklivvz Mod | @called2voyage the question, to be fair, is not about the historicity of the event, but about whether it's medically possible. See the tags. | |

| Dec 22, 2016 at 22:22 | comment | added | called2voyage | Texts whose historicity is disputed (like the book of Jonah) do not constitute claims in and of themselves. If a notable claim exists that the passage in question is historical, that is what you should be focusing on. The Bible is not being singled out here. | |
