How can anyone believe the story of Jonah when general knowledge can show it's absurd?

The story did happen, ya got the secular records of the city repenting, even though 100 years later, they were destroyed because they back slid, and the example of what Christ would do in the future, three days in the center of the earth, defeated Satan, and got the keys to heaven back .God is God, and that's just the way it is. He breathes out stars, I think He could sustain Jonah in the belly for three days, no problem. Babies born in a swimming pool, can breathe underwater, so, get over it!
