Once again you've proved my point. If I said "Ice cubes are hot.", you would likely say I am stating a falsehood. However, ice cubes are not necessarily hot or cold, depending on what your measuring benchmark is. You understand this. My point is thus, God from His perspective as Creator has a greater knowledge than you or I. What appears to be "false" to us may not necessarily be so to Him. Simple extrapolation.

The ant says, "That's the biggest obstacle I've ever seen!"
You move your shoe and the ant walks on, amazed at the miracle he just witnessed.

You're the one that repeatedly states that we must only validate based on what we experience in the here and now, not me. Some things must be accepted on faith. The sun has risen everyday of every morning of my life, it is logical to conclude that it will do so tomorrow, but it still takes an element of faith to "believe" that the sun will rise tomorrow, does it not? For an easier example; Do you fly on commercial aircraft? It is logical to conclude that one will arrive at one's destination, yet hundreds don't arrive every year. They die in crashes. Those that choose to fly must have faith that their plane will be one of the lucky ones to arrive safely, even though logic says the odds are with them. Again, hundreds die each year having believed in logic.

Where in the Bible does it say Jonah was swallowed by a whale?

I am not aware that the Bible claims Jacob is buried in two different places. Can you be specific?
