Guys...your answers were great. Does anyone out there have the courage to study 'fulfilled Bible prophecy' ? Those of you who want 'scientific proof' of creation, and of God's existence will surely want to do a little research. Did you know that Isaiah the prophet prophesied the exact details of Jesus' crucifixion 700 years before this event took place? No one has ever disproven FULFILLED PROHECY. These fulfilled prophecies then sort of validate creation! You realize, don't you, that evolution is still just what Darwin called it? A theory. Check out this link if you are broad minded enough.

For some reason Yahoo is not printing the entire URL. Go to www. reasons.org........then check out resources, then apologetics, then prophecy. I hope this works for you.

Do you even get the fact that this story was written much later than the all alleged events. When you write a book of fiction you can make up anything you want. If I write a sequel to a book which makes predictions why would I not write the story so that the predictions come true in the sequel.
Even so there are inconsistencies in the bible due to all the different authors having slightly different agendas.
A theory is "a coherent group of general propositions used as principles of explanation for a class of phenomena" [Random House American College Dictionary]. The term does not imply tentativeness or lack of certainty. For instance Human Sexual Reproduction is the theory that explains where babies come from. Maybe if you use words you should take the time to learn what they actually mean.

Someone already said it: you are assuming that the events depicted in the Gospels are accurate. We not only have no way to verify that, but we know they were written well after the fact.
How hard would it be to write a story to make it look like the prophesy had been fulfilled?
(Oh, and it has also been pointed out that you do not understand the difference between the scientific meaning of "theory" and the vernacular definition. Look in to it.)

Jesus said that he would come into his kingdom within the lifetimes of some of the people who were witnessing his crucifixion. Last time I checked, there weren't people running around who are 2000 years old. Study "unfulfilled Bible prophecy." Heck, the Jews don't even believe Jesus was the Messiah.

Should I start believing in Santa Claus because a 5 year old believes in him?
The Theory of Evolution
The Theory of Gravitation
Gravitation is as much of a theory as evolution. Since you clearly believe in the rubbish about Intelligent Design, you probably think that schools should start teaching Intelligent Falling as an alternative to Gravitation.

And this prophecy was written in the Bible, which was written AFTER Jesus was crucified.
Evolution is a scientific theory. A scientific theory is more than an idea, more than a hypothesis. A scientific theory is something which has been tested and retested.

Isiah may have said something which could be symbolically interpreted as crucifixion. But he did make a number of very concrete prophecies, which Jesus singularly failed to meet. Jesus meets very few of the criteria required for the Jewish messiah. Prophecies are usually extremely vague. If I really wanted to, I could play around with the OT and make it look like Chuck Norris was the Messiah.
And please look up the definition of 'scientific theory'. it doesn't mean what you think it does.
And you need a http:// for your link to work :)

And there is no chance that the writers, knowing the various prophecies in the Bible, didn't "adjust" the background of an obscure carpenter.

Yeah i know
Still is the Biblie a scientific book? Does it say anything about Geology, Physics? Or is it about things that are much much more important? I don't see how Isaiah dissprooves evolution. i don't see how the Genesis could do it also, its not interested in science, it is interested in our relation with God

Isn't it funny how you have all this knowledge and do all this research and don't even bother to check what the word theory means in a scientific context.
I have decided that the theory of Gravity is a lie - I am going to go jump off the top of my house because its only a silly theory. bye

"did you know that Isaiah the prophet prophesied the exact details of Jesus' crucifixion 700 years before this event took place"
The jews obviously don't agree with you, and it was their religion first.
