Jonah And The Whale

[media=https://youtu.be/Cv3tUDiiTGk?si=nlqqZdqZNfIvPU8W]

There are documented videos of people being swallowed by whales, it happens. Jonah was the first case.

Could Jonah survive in a whale? The Bible didn't say it was a whale, the Bible said God created a great fish. It is the church who defined it as a whale. Funny how we can accept mechanical mechanisms like submarines and other submergable crafts humans use to explore underwater but refuse the notion that The entity that created the heavens and earth doesn't have the technology to create a vehicle of sorts to hold and carry a person underwater. And in the ancient days if one saw something like a submarine or any of the things used today in the water they would automatically see it as a big fish.

"While there are anecdotal stories and rare instances of close encounters, the anatomical and behavioral characteristics of whales make it highly improbable for them to swallow a human whole and digest it. Baleen whales, with their filter-feeding mechanisms, do not possess a throat large enough to swallow large things like humans. Toothed whales have larger throats, but do not exhibit behavior that suggests they would see humans as prey, and their throats are still too small to swallow us whole. Most interactions between humans and whales are peaceful and often driven by mutual curiosity."

@ChipmunkErnie I didn't indicate ALL WHALES could swallow humans. Simply saying it is possible an. I didn't say it happens frequently I said there were documented cases / videos of it happening.

@Charity The scientists say NO whale can swallow a human being whole; they might bite or nip a person, but a Jonah-like swallowing isn't possible, even if Youtube claims it's so.

@ChipmunkErnie

Do some research on sperm whales sperm whales have throats big enough to swallow humans.

@Charity Yes, evidently a sperm whale is the only whale with an esophagus big enough to swallow a human whole, but there is no record of it ever happening that I can find.
