Funny how none of this "foreknowledge" allows them to actually, you know, KNOW things beFORE they happen. It's always after the fact that they go in and say, "See? The Bible said so!"
Like in the recent Ken Ham/Bill Nye debate, when Ham pulled out the old canard about how the verse about the sky being stretched out over the Earth was Biblical knowledge of the expanding universe. Funny how none of the theologians and Biblical thinkers for 1900 years had any CLUE about an expanding universe until scientists figured it out.
No, it doesn't count as foreknowledge if you apply it after the fact. I guess you could call it "hindknowledge," from the fact that it's only done post hoc as well as the place where they seem to be pulling this stuff from...

Between this post and the one in fail quotes about the Dragon, I'd say you earned your next cluon. You're on a roll, Shane. :)
if the bible explicitly bet on who would win a war in the future, I'd start to be impressed. doubly so if it correctly predicts the winner is a side that appears to be on the ropes at the time...
yeah, I'm not aware of any of the commonly cited "prophetic" works have any accuracy in them: Nostradamus, the Bible codes, the "mayan calender" (which didn't predict an apocalypse), etc.
you know who was more accurate than all these put together?
