But seriously, yes you're correct. For a guy to raise up from the dead after 3 days is quite a miracle, but that's kinda my point. The bible pretty much says, "Hey, big miracle happened here." But it doesn't say that with Noah's 41 quadrillion animals who ate, drank, pooped, and peed.
The way the bible flows, it clearly points out the paranormal. I don't think there's any question if the early authors of the bible had had any chance to point out a miracle, they would have done it. In examining the flow of other texts, I can easily see it saying, "And the animals all marched onto the boat and as they did, they laid down and slept for 40 days and nights." But it doesn't do that.
It seems to me that every chance any author gets, in the bible, to say, "Hey folks.....MIRACLE!!!!!", they do it.

They didn't seem to indicate that longer lifespans were miraculous either.  Some things just aren't spelled out for us.
