One of the main things christians uphold as proof of the bible's divine inspiration is Jesus' prophecy about the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem. Let's look at this so-called prophexy.
It's pretty simple. The temple was destroyed by the Romans in 70 CE. How in the world could Jesus have known that? Only God could have known that so the bible must be true/ Not so fast.
The most conservative estimates cannot date the Gospels eartlier than 80 CE--ten years later!
How can you write about something that has already happened and call it a prophecy?
