Are you fucking kidding me ?
The FACT is, you take the other prophecies literally, and when it's convenient, you don't.
"Stephen C. Meyer is an American advocate of the pseudoscientific principle of intelligent design. He helped found the Center for Science and Culture of the Discovery Institute, which is the main organization behind the intelligent design movement. Before joining the DI, Meyer was a professor at Whitworth College. Wikipedia

Nice try attempting to discredit two excellent sources.
Nothing but your opinion.
Since you are an expert on nothing relevant, your recommendations of these two (debunked) writers, amounts to nothing.
Biblical Studies has come a long way since the 17th Century, (archaeology has pretty much debunked the entire OT as (non) "historical", in the post you copied, he said nothing that explains why the prophecy FAILED, .... and ID is a very minor non-science that attempts to claim it can know something from an invalid premise.
YOU yourself cannot even define what is or is not "complex enough" to require a "god done it". You have been asked this time and again. You have no answer. You have failed here to support your theory. No one here buys this rubbish. .... We're STILL WAITING for you to show us what new DNA sequences arose in the Cambrian Explosion, and how it is you know they were "new life".
Here's what's wrong with Meyer : https://www.skepticblog.org/2013/08/28/s...n-follies/
Here's what's wrong with the childish nonsense of prophecy as prediction : http://www.crivoice.org/prophecyprediction.html
Prophecy was never intended to be set in stone, (despite what anal-retentive Fundamentalists say today).
Jeremiah 18:5-10. (This god reserves the right to change his mind, even after the prophet who speaks on God’s behalf predicts blessing or cursing).
"Then the word of the LORD came to me: Can I not do with you, O house of Israel, just as this potter has done? says the LORD. Just like the clay in the potter’s hand, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel. At one moment I may declare concerning a nation or a kingdom, that I will pluck up and break down and destroy it, but if that nation, concerning which I have spoken, turns from its evil, I will change my mind about the disaster that I intended to bring on it. And at another moment I may declare concerning a nation or a kingdom that I will build and plant it, but if it does evil in my sight, not listening to my voice, then I will change my mind about the good that I had intended to do to it ?"
There is no such thing as prediction of the future/omen reading (as forbidden in Deuteronomy), and there is no "proper way" to read any of it.
If you "know" a creator exists, then "technically" you don't need ANY faith. You can't have it both ways.
Either you "know" it, or you don't. If DNA proves a creator, then you need no faith.... (and) you are not saved, as according to Paul, you are save by your faith).
You're kinda screwed, I see.
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell
