They aren't coincidences. A guy who knows the texts and tales of the Abrahamic religion writes his own book and makes sure to describe events so that they are "predicted" by those earlier texts and tales.
I'm going to write a "holy book" that describes events of the 20th century, and insist that I found it on a floppy disk from 1802. WTF it's full of so many accurate predictions, it must be GOD!!!
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
