Let me say this much about your predictions, Tiberius -- and you can say maybe I have a bad attitude about it, and I won't disagree -- but when you guys claim that the Bible's prophecies (predictions) aren't really legitimate; specifically the prophecies about the return of Israel in 1948; I couldn't care less about your predictions.

They can be tested many times. If there is a flaw in a technique or contamination in the sample, this repetition can discover it. It's like getting someone else to check your working when you do maths. You might make a mistake each time you use a particular technique, but if you get someone else to check in, they will be unlikely to make the same mistake as you, so they have a good chance of discovering your mistake and saying, "Hey, you messed it up here."
