Most accurate prophecies EVAR! xD

Oh, most scholars say that, do they. In what particular field of study do these scholars specialize in? Study hall? No responsible scholar would be so stupid as to suggest Biblical prophecies were recorded after the fact when the earliest manuscripts wouldn't have allowed it.

As for the authentication of divine inspiration, lets see you compare the prophecy of Cyrus at Isaiah 44:26–45:7, recorded hundreds of years before Cyrus was born with Herodotus I, 191, 192, that says Cyrus went: "drawing off the river by a canal into the lake [the artificial lake said to have been made earlier by Queen Nitocris], which was till now a marsh, he made the stream to sink till its former channel could be forded. When this happened, the Persians who were posted with this intent made their way into Babylon by the channel of the Euphrates, which had now sunk about to the height of the middle of a man’s thigh. Now if the Babylonians had known beforehand or learnt what Cyrus was planning, they would have suffered the Persians to enter the city and brought them to a miserable end; for then they would have shut all the gates that opened on the river and themselves mounted up on to the walls that ran along the river banks, and so caught their enemies as in a trap. But as it was, the Persians were upon them unawares, and by reason of the great size of the city - so say those who dwell there - those in the outer parts of it were overcome, yet the dwellers in the middle part knew nothing of it; all this time they were dancing and making merry at a festival . . . till they learnt the truth but too well. [See Daniel 5:1-4, 30 / Jeremiah 50:24 / 51:31, 32.] Thus was Babylon then for the first time taken.”
