Jesus and the writers of the OT and NT believed them to be real. Jesus should know. He was there at the beginning.

If every single fact mentioned in the Bible is true, then I would like to hear, among other things, a believable explanation as to where Noah put the aquariums to preserve the freshwater fish (the floodwater would have been saline) or where the fountains of the great deep (Gen. 7:11) are located.

The Bible is not a science textbook or an almanac. It's a book that describes who God is, what he has done and what he wants us to do through revealed knowledge, narrative history, folk tales and poetry.
