I won’t begin this with admonition as you did. I will just ask you to reexamine your counting of days AND nights in light of Yeshua’s word. Then get back with me.

(Luke 11:29-32)
38Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee. 39But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: 40For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

I would refer you to post 20 where APD laid out the case very well. The three day and three night statement does not mean a literal 72 hour time period and the first centuries Jews understood this idiomatic expression very well.
It’s as if my wife tells me we are out of bread and I tell her “ I will run to the store and buy some”. I get in my car and drive to the store.
Did I “run” to the store? I didn’t not run as a runner, but used an. Idiomatic expression which meant go to the store, regardless of method ( in this example driving )
