Pretty interesting Isaiah can predict Christianity 800 or 850 years before Christ.
Many in this forum say "well its possible to speculate and then have the future fullfill it". Yeah, I can see that point of view if it only happened one time, but it doesn't happen only one time. These things happen a lot more than 1 time, but you have to be reading with an open mind the whole sweep of the bible to spot them.

This is a nice example of comformation bias. A christian searching for "evidence" to support the ideas he believes. But as I said before, it is not about what you can prove, it is about what you can disprove and the atribute of theories that they can be disproven but survives the tests that in a way proves them.
As for this, Jules Verne made some pretty accurate predictions, Nostradamus obviously too, but both aren't considered holy.
