This is why you should read the books. Obviously, you haven't.

All three that you deny do have prophesies. Some of which have been fulfilled. In fact, the Muslims say that the coming of Mohammad was prophesized. READ THE KORAN FOR YOURSELF. But, the Koran has its own problems, and I am not going to defend it.

You obviously also NO idea of the Vedas. Vedas stated 1000 years BEFORE the Bible that there is only one God. The Vedas also describe the shape of the universe, the Big Bang, nuclear fusion, etc. What Hindus practice today IS NOT ACCORDING TO THE VEDAS. Hinduism today is a gross mistake, a hedious misrepresentation of what the Vedas preach. READ FOR YOURSELF BEFORE MISTATING OR MISREPRESENTING, EITHER OUT OF IGNORANCE OR SOME OTHER MOTIVE.

Same with the Dharmapada, which was written 500 BC. It has amazing mathematical and atomic physics insights. Read the "Dancing Wu Li masters" and "The Tao of physics" if you can't stomach reading the actual book.

Go back and read what I said. Then show me a prophesy in the Koran. Consider that a dropped gauntlet. My information is that it contains none. Jerusalem is not mentioned Once in the Koran, yet Muslims tell us how it is one of their most holy cities (because it's a thorn in the side of the Israelites). Oh, wait, you're not going to defend your point, you'll just drop names and run right..

Um, I have some Idea of Hindu religions; but, I don't generally study them in depth. On the other hand, I didn't state that the Hindus have no prophecies in their religious works. You'll search in vain for that statement in my last reply and find no trace of it. What I did say is that there is nothing of worth there. And I stand by that. You might stop and read before trying to correct someone for something they didn't say.

As for interesting math and physics insights. Math and physics evolved seperate from religion. That a religion should incorporate it into their works doesn't lend them credibility religiously. It just means they have a grip on math and physics.

The Bible predicted the day that Israel would become a nation again. It predicted the raising of Jerusalem after the death and ressurection of Jesus. It predicted Jesus' entrance to the city. The shear number of prophecies laid down and fullfilled by Christ is stunning in and of itself.
The books which prophesied the events predated Christ by a margin long enough that the events could not have been forged after the fact. What's more, Bible prophesy is still being fulfilled. Christianity has a living God. One that is more than a carved relief or a name on a page.

He destroyed the egyptian Army and an empire to free His chosen people. And to this day, Israel is despised because they are proof of God by their very existance and their scriptures bear up their claims right down to the curses God put upon them for their disobedience.

The God of the Bible is God. There is non other than him.
Substance speaks louder to me than religious philosophy that gives people something to do to keep themselves occupied.. Egyptian Chariot wheels and fragments don't lay at the bottom of the Red sea because of a myth. Nor is sianai exactly as described in scripture because of historic inaccuracy. Nor was Christ crucified in a form other than was prophesied in scripture - I would note that such a form of death didn't exist at the time of the prophecy. LOL.

Of course, you aren't going to defend your statements. I wouldn't want to either.
