Iris, you keep harping on "First, the Bible was written over a period exceeding a millennium and one/half by over 40 different divinely inspired writers." and such. Please provide references (I won't hope for proof) as to who wrote what and when. And your list of "fulfilled prophesies" on http://forum.bismikaallahuma.org/viewtopic.php?t=5076 is too crazy to waste time refuting. The few items that are not obvioulsy created after the events they are supposed to predict are so general that anybody could have said so anytime, and just waited for a suitable occasion to claim fulfillment, like the Greek Pythia's "Croesus will destroy a great empire." You know what happened--Croesus crossed the river, and his great empire was lost. I hereby predict that there will be a war. Count me among the prophets.
