I suggest you look through some of the authorship referenced here.

You want me to read through the whole wiki page? Since were talking the book of Isaiah specifically, make the case for it not being actually written by Isaiah and well move on from there.

prove it.

Are you actually seriously suggesting that, for example, Exodus was written by Moses?

Well, a link directly to Isaiah then.

I'm sure Biblical scholars (many of them believing Christians) would be happy to hear that. Go get published.

Your explanation was utterly unconvincing. You base it on people believing it to be true - circular reasoning.

"It can only be true if a prophet wrote it.
My interpretation of the words say the prophecy was true.
Therefore a prophet wrote it.
It says Isaiah wrote it, he's a prophet, so it must be true."
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.

So essentially, you want everyone else to just go along with your blatant shifting of the burden of proof.

Stop the presses!!! an atheist is unconvinced!

it's not circular reasoning it's how the Hebrew society worked, they will not listen to prophecy unless it came from a proven prophet, to state that some unnamed schmoe wrote Isaiah is just absurd, it would have never been accepted as scripture if that was the case.

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

And I did. You're claiming that a book is written by someone "because it wouldn't have been accepted otherwise"? The fact that you consider that an argument of any substance at all is rather distressing.

What would you says to the huge number of Christian Bible scholars who say you're totally wrong?

No, what you posted was an opinion, you need to name a specific source so we can view its material, wiki is too vague.
