so because someone happened to make a prediction that came true, we can automatically conclude that this person's prediction was inspired by a divine diety that created everything etc. sounds like an awefully big jump if you ask me.
how do we explain it? well i know barely anything about scripture dates, so the most obvious i can think of is that this "perdiction" could have been written after the event had already taken place, or that the original scripture was changed. assuming that these explainations are wrong, i would simply conclude that the person was simply lucky. i do not think that this was god's doing, because there are also perdictions made that never came true, and god doesn't strike me as a win-some lose-some kind of diety. it's a good argument, but to me, like the rest of the bible, predictions come from people, not from god.
by the way, i predict that McCain will win the 2008 presidential election, so if i am right, you must acknowledge me as your prophet
