How accurate is the bible?

Well, the way I did it was to be entirely open to the idea that miraculous things can happen. Although I have opinions now, I could have asked the same question with no opinion ten years ago, wondering if there was any evidence that those miraculous things did or didn't happen.There can be very little likelihood of evidence for or against Jonah and his whale, but much likelihood of evidence for or against millions of people crossing the Red Sea, followed by the destruction of the entire Egyptian army. At the start of looking for that evidence, it is quite easy to have read the whole Bible and have no opinion about whether there is evidence for or against those miraculous things happening.

I don't know what obsede means. I don't spend much time thinking about whether it was a fish or a whale. I was just using common language. If someone ever verifies the story and finds the life form that swallowed Jonah, I'd love to hear about it .

Sorry for CA's answers, Prinny. I don't think he's representative of the board as a whole. CA's pretty knowledgeable, I think, but he's about as punchy (pugnacious might be an appropriate word) as they come around here.In non-admin mode, CA, I don't think your posts in this thread have been in accordance with the forum rule that says "respect for others is the rule." You are prone to being hard on people, but this thread is about as extreme as I've seen you be.
