I've always found it fascinating how many people there are who want to prove that miracles in the Bible could have been true because of some such naturally occurring event. An example of this are those people who choose to believe the book of Jonah because there are fish that exist that actually could swallow a man. That isn't a belief in God at all. That is a belief in the natural world. I like the way that A.W. Tozer puts it in the book The Mystery of the Holy Spirit. He says,
And the poor preachers, God help them, have tried over the last few years to prove miracles. They want to believe the miracles. I believe them all, but I do not believe them because science permits me; I believe them because God wrote them in the Bible and they are there. But some fellow finds a fish washed up on the shore and he measures its gullet. Gets himself a tape measure and crawls inside the bony skeleton and measures its gullet and finds out it is as broad as the shoulders of a man and he goes out and says see, a great fish could swallow Jonah. See, the unbeliever is wrong; God did make a fish big enough to swallow Jonah. Why go to tape measures and fish to find out whether what God says is true or not? If God did the thing, I could believe that.The problem with telling the unbeliever they are wrong about God because a fish is proven to exist that could swallow a man is that such a thing may prove to the unbeliever that the Bible has some historical and scientific accuracy, but it doesn't help the unbeliever with what his real problem is and that is his unbelief in God. A miracle is a miracle precisely because it is scientifically impossible not because it happens daily somewhere in the world, and if we believe in a God who could create a universe then we should not have a problem believing that such a God could make a fish that could swallow a man.
