Your soul's hatred for God is evident. You've dedicated your blog to proving it. I have nothing more to say except that you are one sad and bitter soul.

Can you be serious for one moment Johnny? Why try to obfuscate the fact that if a whale ingests a human the human will surely die. It is sad what hoops you people will go through to protect your pet mythology. If the Bible were the inspired word of the Christian God why would said God pick an unreasonable fable and claim it happened. I know that some of you Christians like to say that Jonah is a fable. If you claim it is a fable what else will you claim to be fable as man gets to be more intelligent and pokes more holes in the Bible.

V.E.

First of all, Velvet Evolver, i was refering to Mike's claim that since a (one) killer whale killed someone, it proves the rule (thereby debunking the Jonah account).
He knows he was reaching on that one.

Second, you asked, "If the Bible were the inspired word of the Christian God why would said God pick an unreasonable fable and claim it happened."

Since your statement allows for the possibility that God exists (e.g.If the Bible were the inspired word of the Christian God ) then you must also posit that it is a true account.

Therefore, since your argument accepts the possibilty of the Christian God, you must accept the possibility of the attributes of God. Particulartly that God has the ability to keep Jonah alive in the whale (actually, the English is translated 'great fish').

Third, Sperm Whales have the ability to swallow giant squid
(over 300 pounds), so there is an ability to swallow a human.
According to http://whale.wheelock.edu/
there is air in whale's stomachs.

I know, air in the stomach does not mean a man could live there, but since air is something needed to live, and a whale's stomach can have air, at least that obstacle is removed.

What you need to do is show that miracles are impossible.
