Except that the book of Isaiah was written in the 7th century B.C., which makes your point kinda moot.
Actually no. Isaiah was not written in the 600s B.C.E. Most scholars accept that the first 39 chapters in Isaiah are based on Isaiah ben Amoz, who lived in the Kingdom of Judah during the reigns of four kings from the mid to late 8th century BCE. However, he did not record the book in the 700s. It was probably actually written in the 500s by others.
Verse 40:22 (the verse in question) is not even based on Isaiah be Amoz and was written at the earliest during the Babylonian captivity, in the 500s, but more likely later yet after the exile had ended. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Isaiah
Believer's date, which I addressed, is fairly accurate. Yours is not.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
