>When God wrote with his own hand on tablets of stone that in six days He made "heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is" was he lying or just mistaken?

Did Methuselah really live to be 969 years old?

Did Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego really walk in the fire.

Did one man, Noah, really build a boat large enough to contain two of every species and the food required to feed them for 40 days and the time afterwards required for the waters that covered the Earth to receed?

And when the water receeded, where did it go? Since all the Earth was covered with water, it couldn't have gone into the oceans, since they were already filled with water. Where did the water go?

Don't confuse Bible stories with God's works. They can be very different.

Did Jesus walk on water?
Did Jesus resurrect Lazarus?
Did Jesus turn water into wine?
Did Jesus heal a blind man?
Did Jesus rise from the dead?

What makes these events any more reliable/plausible than the ones you mentioned (assuming you are a Christian)?

Yes.

Did Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego really walk in the fire.

Yes

Did one man, Noah, really build a boat large enough to contain two of every species and the food required to feed them for 40 days and the time afterwards required for the waters that covered the Earth to receed?

No one ever said he did it alone. I suspect he had help. But then he did have 120 years to complete the task. That's less than 10 linear feet of boat per year.

And when the water receeded, where did it go? Since all the Earth was covered with water, it couldn't have gone into the oceans, since they were already filled with water. Where did the water go?

You don't believe in miracles, do you? Did Jesus heal a man born blind? Did Jesus walk on water? Did Jesus turn water into wine? Did Jesus rise from the dead?

BTW Jesus confirmed the story of Noah. Was Jesus mistaken? Was Jesus a fraud? Or was he misquoted?

Don't confuse Bible stories with God's works. They can be very different.

Don't confuse your unbelief with faith.
