My thread, my rules.
Oh well... I guess it didn't take very long for you to break your own rules.
The issue is that you hold the trump card of always having the ability to deny that something was, in fact, a prophecy. Pick any prophecy that is claimed to have been made, and you have your choice of foils. You can claim that the prophecy was not sufficiently specific. You can claim that the event doesn't meet the standards of the prophecy. You can claim an alternate dating of the prophecy. And there is no sufficient response to any of these objections.
Of course, the irony (which has already been seen) of the last objection is that some of the dating of materials uses as part of the argument the idea that prophecies could not have happened. So you end up with a circular argument.
And with this sentence, I am at 151 words.
