In the first three books of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series, over 140 prophesies were made about what would happen in the future. EVERY ONE of those prophesies has come true except for the final battle of Tarmon Gai'don, and events are unfolding toward that battle just as predicted.
The odds of all of those prophesies coming true just by "chance" are less than 1 in 10 to the 36th power!
There is also not a single error or contradiction in all of the books of the Wheel of Time. What are the chances of a single ordinary book being that perfect, much less eleven books?

Of course it happened in our world, at a different turning of The Wheel. Read the Books and you will see for yourself.
There is more evidence that Rand Al'Thor lived than Julius Caesar.

Alan - Easy. I pulled it out of my wazoo. If you like, I could pull some more numbers out of there and jumble them together to prove I'm right.

1 in 10 to the 36th power, huh? How do you come up with that math?

So why has Damascus never fallen?
Isaiah 17:1 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.
When is Egypt suddenly going to switch to a dead language?
Isaiah 19:18 In that day shall five cities in the land of Egypt speak the language of Canaan, and swear to the LORD of hosts; one shall be called, The city of destruction.

I think you're kidding yourself about "fulfilled" prophesies... even "half-filled" would be stretching the truth for most and "not-filled-at-all" is a perfect modifier for quite a few others.
The book of revelations is hogwash.

Well, let's see--what if I were to write something like:
---A bomb will explode in the middle east in the very near future!
---This shall not be Lindsey Lohan's last encounter with the law...
---I see strife ahead between India and Pakastan...
does that make me a freaking prophet if it all comes true?

A) Was this supposed to happen in the book's world or ours?
B) Do you have a link or could you write down some of them?

Simple.
The biblical prophecies are either so vague that there was bound to be SOME circumstance sooner or later that "fulfilled" it; or the "prophecy" was simply written after the fact, then CLAIMED it was an accurate prediction.

You are obtaining your prophecies from fantasy books now?
This is a joke isn't it?
