@BigD In order to qualify as a fulfilled prophecy a statement has to meet the following conditions. 1. It must not be so vague as to be meaningless 2. It must be sufficiently specific as a prediction as to be identifiable as such. 3. It must be fulfilled within a specified time period. 4. There must be evidence that the prediction is fully fulfilled. 5. The prediction must be made and recorded *before* it is fulfilled, not after. 6. The prediction must not be a statement of the blindingly obvious. 7. The supposed prophecy must actually *be* a prophecy rather than a quotemine claiming to be a prophecy. There is not a single "prophecy" in the entire "Wholly Babble" that meets these conditions.
The bible makes the following prophetic claims. Matthew 16:28 (KJV) 28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom. Mark 9:1 (KJV) 1 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power. Luke 9:27 (KJV) 27 But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.
So how many 2000-year-old Jews do you know of? What are their names and where do they live?
P.S. 70% of the surface of the earth is covered by oceans that we cannot live on, and we cross at the risk of our lives. Over half of the remaining surface area of the planet is desert that will not support human life. The earth is not "designed" for our benefit, we have adapted to be able to exist in certain niches of the globe.
