A provably incorrect assertion.
The fact that there is SOME archeology that agrees with the Bible, is meaningless. Of course there will be some things that agree, the Bible was written by people that lived in the area in antiquity.
But there is also a lot of archeology that disagrees the Bible. Here is a short list: no archeological evidence for the Exodus, no archeological evidence that the Hebrews were ever in Egypt with anything close to the population the Bible claims, it is unlikely that Nazareth existed at the time of Jesus. There are more.
As far as the so called prophecies, none of them are what Christians claim they are.
If you want, open a thread just concerning the prophecies. We can discuss them.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
