How can you deny Divine Prophecy? The book of Isaiah was written 740-680 B.C. and it mentions the conquering of Cyrus (Isaiah 45:1). And Cyrus wasn't even born until around 590 or 576 B.C.
Jesus fulfilled around 60 major Messianic prophecies (not including the 270 ramifactions). Fulfilling just eight of them is 1 in 10 to the 17 power, or 1 in 100,000,000,000,000,000, Just 48 prophecies is 10 to the power of 157. And Jesus couldn't have set it up to fulfill these prophecies. Jesus, (if He was just a man) couldn't have had control over when He was born, (Daniel 9:25) where He was born, (Micah 5:2) and thats just two He didn't have power over. Historical documents show that there was a person by the name of Jesus born around that time period in the town of Bethlehem! You can't deny that He was born in the time necessary and the place that was necessary. Jesus is the Messiah!

You had to have read Josh McDowell's book New Evidence. In it ,he threw around a heck of a lot of words, but offered no "new evidence".
All of your figures come right from that book, and would make a person wonder, if only it made sense. He quotes a prophecy, and then the fulfillment of that prophecy. The big problem is that it's so far fetched as to be meaningless.
Yes, we non-believers do keep up on just about everything. Our inquisitive minds delve into science, history, all religions.

In fact that is how prophecies are made to come through -- by God's power and his plans.

you cant. with all the probabilities you have there, it would be near impossible to fulfill all those prophecies by chance, and only God could arrange such an improbable thing.

um...
1. everything was written after the event happened
2. those events repeated itself(like winning war over some tribe)
3. jesus' life never happened as the bible portrays it...(if he ever existed)
4. all these are true because the bible says so?

The bible also notes that a Prophet from Arab land will come after Jesus(pbuh) and his name will be Ahmed.
