Tell the future? Oh yeah. There will be wars, and rumors of wars. Very helpful. Prophesies like that are a dime a dozen.

Thanks Alex. Coffee out the nose was the highlight of my day.

I think the Farmers Almanac had a greater success rate. At least my grand pops swore by it.

And famines.  And earthquakes.


Notice how the fucking thing does not predict an asteroid impact.  That's because the fuckers who wrote it didn't know about asteroid impacts.

Gee, I wonder what an atheist would think about this one.
I don't believe you. Get over it.

I have a copy of Astronomy for the under tens by Patrick Moore written back in the '80s. It predicted the Solar Eclipse of '99.
The Bible by contrast is a collection of badly plagiarized fiction, effectively 'fifty shades of bullshit'.

Bible? Definitely fiction. If you disagree, kindly courier a Talking Snake™ to my domicile at your earliest convenience.

The bible is an iron book of myths nothing more, please show me what things it predicted with any accuracy (vague things like "there will be famine" don't count unless it provides precise dates and numbers)
I can predict "A government will fall" but I can't say which one or when it will happen.
The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will fly to the stars.

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups

Are you trying to imply that the bible in anyway relates to actual events!

To quote the president of the US "Sad".

"Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers," ..etc...

As for exact dates,here is just one scripture that answers that question:
" But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only."

This fits the times were in also:
"The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God."
