Good idea.
1 Kings 13:2 And he cried against the altar in the word of the LORD, and said, O altar, altar, thus saith the LORD; Behold, a child shall be born unto the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon thee shall he offer the priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and men's bones shall be burnt upon thee.
And since we both "made it up," I guess great minds think alike, eh?Adam Clarke's Commentary said:

You don't. Until you study it.
Have you studied the Bible yet?
A Book in the Bible may take a semester to introduce it.

So as a geologist you found that the earth must be only a few thousand years old, and then coincidentally found that the Bible agrees, and continued to read its other stories which were equally in line with reality?

FIRST, you tell me clearly and loudly that I am off your ignoring list.
Then we can talk.

I never had you on such a list. Just said that you are a confirmed troll.

Do you like to talk to a confirmed troll?
If you like to, then cancel that confirmation OPENLY.

This seems to be getting a bit off topic I think some good points have been made though.
We ha r an example of a prophecy that is not particularly difficult to fulfil and as people have pointed out no way to confirm that it was fulfilled. It seems we are a bit stuck. One side saying Prophesies show that the Bible is true and in this case we know of the prophecy came true because the Bible said it did.
Thw other side saying that this kind of circular argument is not convincing for them.
Did anyone have any other prophesies that they wanted to bring forward as options to support the arguments being made here by either side?

You are right. I apologize for dragging your thread off topic for my own endeavors.
To contribute further, there's this:
Jeremiah 36:30 says,
"Therefore thus saith the Lord of Jehoiakim king of Judah; He shall have none to sit upon the throne of David: and his dead body shall be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost."
2 Kings 24:6 says,
"So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers: and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead."
