In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. What does Genesis 7:11 mean? | BibleRef.com
Another scientific discovery right from The Bible. Are ya ready?? Well are ya

There is a whole lot that we don't know.

Matthew 12:40 For as Jonah was in the belly of the huge fish three days and three nights, so the Son of Man will be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights​

The book of Jonah is fiction...a comic novella about God loving all mankind..even the people of Nineveh.
 
Jesus seemed to take it literally.

It was a teaching narrative about how God loved all his children even the people of Nineveh. It's comic fiction.

Haven't you read Aesop's Fables? They were written by a Greek slave around the same time.

Memorable stories are an excellent teaching device.

The Book of Genesis is the first book of the Bible and is part of the Torah, or Pentateuch, which is the first five books of the Bible.

The book is thought to have been composed around the 5th century BC, but some scholars believe that chapters 1–11, which cover primeval history, may have been added as late as the 3rd century BC.

The authors of Genesis borrowed themes from Mesopotamian mythology and ancient near eastern cosmology, but adapted them to their unique belief in one God. The creation myth in Genesis 1 may have been created by a Hebrew scribe living in Babylon during the Babylonian Exile in the 4th century BCE.
Genesis is divided into two parts:

Primeval history
Chapters 1–11 include stories such as the creation, the Garden of Eden, Cain and Abel, Noah and the Flood, and the Tower of Babel.

Patriarchal history
Chapters 12–50 include stories such as Abraham, Isaac and his twin sons Jacob and Esau, and Jacob's family, including Joseph.

Most mainstream Bible scholars consider Genesis to be primarily mythological rather than historical.

It is predictable that most don't believe the Bible. As you pointed out even scholars who study it don't believe it.

Many consider American history to be mostly fables. We are a generation of Nihilists.

Do you understand how fiction can illustrate the truth? The ancients certainly did .

You can easily check the facts of American history.. Surely you aren't talking about Pecos Bill or Babe the Blue Ox.

Lincoln was a racist, so was George Washington. That's the "real" history.
