A more compelling prophecy would have been aeons of peace, plenty and stable geology. Since people fight, eat, and exacerbate situations through population increases and CO2 emissions, etc..., a god foretelling accurately of an impossible utopian future would be more impressive. As it stands, it doesn't take a psychic to guess 'rough seas ahead'.
I can see the rationale for arguing the inanery of the bible, but you have to wonder sometimes if 'fire on fire' arguments will sway true believers™. They often have a solid grasp on their interpretations, and that makes inroads a PITA. Dismissing the relevance of that bundle of rolling papers from the get go takes away the thunder in their voice. They can quote scripture til they are blue, but if it doesn't hold water with their audience, they have nothing.
