I agree, the claims and stories of the Bible seem to be exaggerated.
For example, when I heard that there isn't enough water to cover the earth in a flood, I felt unhinged, even though I did not toss out the Bible. I felt the claim was false.
And it wasn't until decades years later that I discovered some of the answers, which showed that people were completely ignorant about the behavior of water on such large scales.
I will not discuss that topic here, perhaps in another thread sometime.
And as far as predictions go, historical fulfillment is pretty interesting, but as for the future, we really don't know until it happens. That's why Jesus said, "when it happens then you will know that what I said was true."
