Too bad there is the small matter of him surviving inside the whale

Remember that it not only has to be possible for the whale to swallow Jonah, it has to be possible for Jonah to survive in the whale's stomach. If that takes a miracle, it doesn't matter if it was a Sperm Whale or a hummingbird, what's scientifically possible is not part of the story.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

I can't help but wonder why it would matter whether or not it would be possible for a whale to fit it's jaws around a man. Jonah was swallowed by a dragon, not a whale..or even a fish. Supposedly, "jesus" used this as a foreshadowing theological metaphor -

Quote: For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
Matthew 12:40
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
