who got stuck in the belly of a whale
Jonah The debate over the fish in the Book of Jonah played a major role during Clarence Darrow's cross-examination of William Jennings Bryan at the Scopes Trial in 1925.[104][105] Darrow asked Bryan "When you read that... the whale swallowed Jonah... how do you literally interpret that?"[104] Bryan replied that "a God who can make a whale and can make a man and make both of them do what He pleases."[104] Bryan ultimately admitted that it was necessary to interpret the Bible,[104] and is generally regarded as having come off looking like a "buffoon".[105]
