The story of Jonah for Christians is symbolic of the mission of Jesus the Messiah, who preached repentance from sin and faith in God. As recorded in Matthew 12:40, Jesus refers to the 'sign of Jonah': "Just as Jonah was in the belly of the whale three days and three nights, so will the Son of Man (Jesus) be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights." In this Jesus indicates in advance that He must die for the atonement of the sin of mankind, but will rise to life after three days.

The easiest alternative is to think of it as symbolic.AnswerThere are many different aspects to the Eve/Adam story.
