Atheists think that Christians have pretty low standards regarding what constitutes a fulfilled prophecy. Genesis 15:18 says "I give to your descendants this land from the river of Egypt to the Great River, the river Euphrates". When did *that* ever happen?

In order to be a true prophecy it must have a time and date associated with it because if it does not then it's just some words so that when something that comes along and fulfills the criteria they call it predicted.

Sorry, friend, but I learned a long time ago that nothing, absolutely nothing in the Bible is reliable. Furthermore, Christians themselves are very adept at finding ambiguous scripture they can twist into whatever meaning they require. Please understand, I am not questioning your veracity and I have no doubt you are an honorable man. It's just that I can no longer bring myself to trust people who routinely confuse subjective experience with objective reality.

This was my answer to another question about prophecy and since it is applicable to yours also I'll repaste it here:
Vagueness is the hail of all 'prophecy' so that it can be twisted to fit any situation that is the current need of the moment. That is no better than any of Nostradamus' quatrains.

Yes, and the Roman foundation myth predicts that (HOLY CRAP) Rome would control all the known world (and it did)!
That's far more impressive -- not just a state, but a massive empire. Predicted! Right in Roman mythology!

I think the same thing can be done with any horoscope in the newspaper.
Read Nostradamus he wrote predictions just as accurate..

Many religions have accurately predicted various things does that mean that all religions are right?

Not much. Was there supposed to be something notable about it?
