Yet another thing, I stated, "For example" in my first dispute regarding the prophesies. An example isn't the whole show, it's just a preview. I didn't just pick one, I referred to it first.

You do realize God has referred to Nebuchadnezzar, as well as others, in a metaphorical sense multiple times, right?

Also, if you read the verse describing the Triumph Of Judah, you would've seen that it said "The LORD God delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria." Haven't you ever changed your mind? According to 2 chronicles 28:1-4, Ahaz really pissed God off. He worshiped Baal, and even sacrificed children. If that happened, I'd do the same thing.

As for the Nile drying up, I'd like to argue on that a little further, but for now, I'll state this. What isn't to say Egypt doesn't worship idols? Remember, God (or in your case, the Bible) uses a frickton of metaphors.

For instance, have you ever heard that you should cut out your eye, or cut off your hand if it causes you to sin? Obviously, the Author wasn't literally stating that you should dismember yourself to get to heaven. He was only implying that you get rid of things that tempt you to do wrong. (For instance, pornography.)

Remember, Jesus stated that if you devote more of your time to anything other than God, it is considered an Idol. Therefore, you can check that off the list, idols are everywhere. Not to mention, if Egypt ever becomes anything like America, (freedom of religion-wise) you can check off everything else on that list as well. Therefore, it could be interpreted as an end of days prophesy.

Alright, quick thing I need you to answer for me.

How high was the tallest mountain at that time?

How resistant were animals to pressure changes? (Remember, God supposedly created them perfect.)

What was the pressure like back then?

How deep were all the oceans?

And finally, what kind of animals were there at that time? Were there as many breeds of dogs cats, etc. as there are today?

Oh, god, seriously. If you're going to argue against the Bible, at least read it.

The Bible DID NOT STATE bats were birds.

It used the Hebrew word "Owphet" In the original text. "Owphet" doesn't mean bird, it means a flying thing. Are you denying that a bat is a flying thing? You have to own every version of the bible in order to understand what it means.

Another thing, Jonah wasn't swallowed by a whale, necessarily. He was swallowed by a "Great Fish." Have you ever seen a megalodon before? Shark pups literally LIVE in their mother's stomachs before they leave. (At least for great whites.)

I'm sorry, but this really isn't as much of a collection of "Failed Prophesies" as it is a collection of Prophesies that haven't been fulfilled yet. Do you even watch the news?

For example, All hell is breaking loose in the middle east. One nuclear launch on Egypt would turn it into a wasteland, wouldn't you say? It's really just a matter of perspective.

First off, I have to get something off my chest. Misfit has claimed that there is overwhelming evidence supporting (macro evolution, micro evolution is a undeniable fact.) evolution. However, this is just not the case. Macro isn't overwhelmingly supported by evidence, it's overwhelmingly supported by people. Creationists and evolutionists use the same evidence.

Now, for the proof Christianity is true: Prophecy. Before you turn up your nose, hear me out.The books of Isiah, Malachi, Psalms, Jeremiah, Exodus, Hosea, and Genesis (I may be missing a few) Specifically spoke of the things Jesus would do hundreds and in some cases one thousand years before he actually did them.

Here are a few examples:

He would be born in Bethlehem. (Prophesied in Micah 5:2, Fulfilled in Matthew 1:22-23 and Luke 1:26-31)

He would spend a season in Egypt (Prophesied Hosea 11:1, Fulfilled Matthew 2:14-15)

A massacre of Children would happen at his Birthplace: (Prophesied Jeremiah 31:15, Fulfilled Matthew 2:16-18)

There are forty-one other examples of this That I don't have time to reference.

Before you state the Bible can not be used as a historical implement due to it being a religious book, let me give some examples of archaeological digs by non Christians that support it.

The World Wide Flood. There are ridiculous amounts of religions that claim a world-wide flood occurred. Even many Native American tribes have a world-wide flood story that parallels the Biblical account.

The Nuzi Tablets. The some 20,000 cuneiform clay tablets discovered at the ruins of Nuzi, east of the Tigris River and datable to c. 1500 BC, reveal institutions, practices, and customs remarkably congruent to those found in Genesis. These tablets include treaties, marriage arrangements, rules regarding inheritance, adoption, and the like.

The Merneptah Stele. A seven-foot slab engraved with hieroglyphics, also called the Israel Stele, boasts of the Egyptian pharaoh’s conquest of Libyans and peoples in Palestine, including the Israelites: “Israel — his seed is not.” This is the earliest reference to Israel in nonbiblical sources and demonstrates that, as of c. 1230 BC, the Hebrews were already living in the Promised Land.

Biblical Cities Attested Archaeologically. In addition to Jericho, places such as Haran, Hazor, Dan, Megiddo, Shechem, Samaria, Shiloh, Gezer, Gibeah, Beth Shemesh, Beth Shean, Beersheba, Lachish, and many other urban sites have been excavated, quite apart from such larger and obvious locations as Jerusalem or Babylon. Such geographical markers are extremely significant in demonstrating that fact, not fantasy, is intended in the Old Testament historical narratives; otherwise, the specificity regarding these urban sites would have been replaced by “Once upon a time” narratives with only hazy geographical parameters, if any.

I could go on, but my fingers are really, really sore.

I'm actually kind of yes-and-no(ing) to this one. Remember, Jesus Hung out with Whores and Tax collectors. Salvation is for everyone. So, you can be saved as a Homosexual, even though gay sex IS a sin. However, the Bible does not say that being attracted to a member of the same sex is a sin.

It actually says that performing the action of homosexual...well, um, SEX is a sin. Remember, all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. We are all tempted. Jesus himself was tempted, however, he did not fall to actually sinning.

I really think there should be more of a, "Don't ask, don't tell" attitude to it.

Actually, the coccyx in no way has to be a left-over tail.

The children who are supposedly born with tails...well, they aren't.

This is merely the spinal column protruding from the child's body, (http://www.bjj.boneandjoint.org.uk/content/62-B/4/508.full.pdf ) and is incredibly harmful, if not inconvenient, to the child.

The belief that our Coccyx is the leftover of a tail is not supported by biology, in fact, if the coccyx was not just the way it is now, our pelvic muscles, as well as our internal organs, wouldn't be anchored and supported, causing serious physical harm to us humans.
