See, this is just the sort of arrogant stupidity that science was invented to stop. What do you really, really know about whales, stomachs, digestion, or the toughness of Jonah? Do you even know which book of the Bible talks about these things?
You, a total non-expert on all these things, just said "
well, it sounds true" and decided to be opinionated based on that.
So if a total non-expert on aircraft, physics, and in-flight snacks just scribbled together a blueprint for an airplane, and said "
well, it looks like it will fly", would you volunteer to be on the maiden flight?
No, of course you wouldn't. When your skin is on the line, when your butt is likely to be the one falling from the sky in a rain of flaming jet fuel and small packets of mediocre pretzels, suddenly "
it sounds right" isn't good enough.
Things are complicated. Things are not only more complicated than you imagine, they are more complicated than most people CAN imagine. You need people who sweated bullets to learn the facts. You need obsessive nerds who spend sleepless blue-balled nights studying everything that can go wrong. You need people who say "
it looks good enough, but WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY?"
