...inspired the writing of? for any man to have been able to fullfill just 8 of the 61 major prophecies in relation to "the Christ" by applying the modern science of probability to just eight prophecies, “… We find that the chance that any man might have lived down to the present time and fulfilled all eight prophecies is 1 in 10 to the 17th .” That would be one in 100,000,000,000,000,000.

doesnt that alone tell us something about the divine nature of scripture?
Lets illustrates it by supposing that:
we take 1017 silver dollars and lay them on the face of Texas. They will cover all of the state two feet deep. Now mark one of these silver dollars and stir the whole mass thoroughly, all over the state. Blindfold a man and tell him that he can travel as far as he wishes, but he must pick up one silver dollar and say that this is the right one. What chance would he have of getting the right one? Just the same chance that the prophets would have had of writing these eight prophecies and having them all come true in any one man, from their day to the present time, providing they wrote in their own wisdom.

In romans it says there is no excuse for men to not Know God is God except by willful ignorance, although true not in those exact words, I guess I should go look up the scripture LOL. But still, doesn’t this picture speak something to your logical self?
he fullfilled all 61 not just 8 this is just taking 8 -
