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.

You remind me of Bible thumpers like Sharpton.

I'm not going to defend the Koran or discuss it after this post. But since you asked, here are some links about prophecies in it and of other religions. Consider the gauntlet thrown back at you. You are welcome.

"you aren't going to defend your statements". Wrong. Again.

"Nothing of worth in Hindu prophecies". How do you know? You haven't even read a SINGLE Hindu book. And, all the prophecies about physics and mathematics, that have come true - worth nothing? Amazing what blinderss some folks have on. Facts should not interfere with dogma after all.

"Maths and physics evolve separate from religion" Just shows how ignorant you are. Both Vedanta and Buddhism consider physics and mathematics to be integral to spiritualism. Which is why they both support evolution and the Big Bang.

The rest of your post is worthy of a sermon in a church, but gives no credence to the discussion at hand.
