How does one believe in these?

Hare KRISHNA! Here are some incredible events mentioned in SB

1) diti pregnancy lasted for full 100 years

2)The tug of war between the crocodile & gajendra elephant continued for 1000 years!

3)It took 365 days for indras vajra to cut off vrtasuras head!

How will common man believe in such events? like didnt crocodile get bored? the crocodile could have found 1000 preys in half the no of years and difficult to believe that vrtasura stood at one place for 365 days waiting for his head to be cut off!!

    /*How will common man believe in such events?*/

    Can a sane man believe in the below facts ??????

    "The ant can lift 50 times its own weight, can pull 30 times its own weight and always falls over on its right side when intoxicated."

    "A cockroach will live nine days without it's head, before it starves to death."

    "The male praying mantis cannot copulate while its head is attached to its body. The female initiates sex by ripping the male's head off."

    "Some lions mate over 50 times a day."

    "Butterflies taste with their feet."

    "Turtles can breathe through their butts."

    "A flea can jump about two hundred times the length of their body, which is about thirteen inches. This is the equivalent to a six foot tall human jumping nine hundred feet."

    "Mosquitoes have 47 teeth."

    "Crickets and katydids have ears on their legs."

    "The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue."

     

    These are some facts proven by scientists, these are few there are thousands wired facts like this Published and advertised by modern scientist community. But we don't feel shame and call them fool while accepting this facts though it seems inconceiveable , unbeliveable and unacceptable to our tiny human brain. still we believe these. But when scriptures says something similar we so called modern scientific man questions the sriptures and tag them as mythology. This is the foolishness on our part.we are like a Dr Frog in a small well try to conceive the vastness of atlantic ocean through our narrow mundane conception . what we not see in our daily human experience, that doesn't mean such things not happens in other species, other forms of life.Bhagavatam is not only the history of Kaliyuga or this earth planet , Bhagavatam talks about history and genesis of other yugas and The whole universe. Now life forms and the process of activity of different life forms are not same through out the universe. So when we try our own mundane logic to intrepret Bhagavtam then we will feel this kind of confusion.So to approach Bhagavatam we need proper consciousness and humility to grab its inner meaning. If we take things literally then it will be far cry for us to understand the subject matter of Bhagavatam.

    That is why we need purification of senses to see things as they are else we will end up with complete opposite conclusion and our entire endeavour will go in vain.
