Let's take one of the jesus freaks' all time favs from the OT. Daniel.
Scholars - real scholars, not churchy fucks running their mouths - have figured out that it was written in 167 BC because the historical events prior to 167 happened and the events after 167 did not. Antiochus, for example, did not return and conquer Egypt - the Romans had famously humiliated him on his second go-round with that - he did not set up his royal pavilion in Central Palestine and "god" did not destroy him and the Seleucid Empire - which remained extant until Gnaeus Pompeiius Magnus came rolling through and gave it the coup de grace in 64 BC. As a matter of fact, Antiochus died fighting the Parthians in 164 BC and, his empire continued for another century.
So much for fucking "Daniel."
