Prophecy re-visited

Another criteria.. when it gets gets 'fullfilled' there has to be outside verification for it actually happening, rather than some people writing to make it look like a prophecy was fullfilled.

Amoung the ancient Hebrews, the concept of a prophecy was not a prediction of the future, but rather a message from God via someone
'Called by god', to try to steer the nation of Isreal back to God from straying from God. It might come with a warning that 'If you continue on your path, bad things will happen to you', but it is not the fortune telling it has metaphorphed itself into in modern times.

We don't NEED the bones as evidnece of evolution.. although the bones suggest it.SOme of the most powerful evidence of evolution comes from DNA evidence that we looked for because the bones suggested it would be there.

Yes, they are written as if they were predicting the future. However, the majority of people think those gospels were written AFTER the jewish revolt.Something written after the fact is not a prediction for the future.
