Quote from: "Keithzworld"Has any professed fulfilled "prophecy" ... Really proved anything?

The question is way too broad to answer.

Which fulfilled prophecy?
Proved what?

The answer: Yes... or No...

Here's a "Yes" scenario:
1) Come up with a Prophesy
2) Convince others it has happened
3) Use their belief for your own purposes...

What has is proved?

You can control people by convincing them that God speaks to you.
or
Faith trumps facts.

Howzat fer ya?

I have never seen an example and having hung around on theistic and atheistic websites and forums for the last 4 years IF there had been a fulfilled prophecy it would have been the key battle point. No such prophecy has been raised, mentioned or even alluded to so I'll take that as sufficient evidence that no prophecy has ever been fulfilled. I get your point though, one can't prove a negative in the strictly logical sense, but that lack of evidence of prophecy fulfilment if deafening in its eloquence. So strictly I would say I'm  a prophecy agnostic and I would require a claimant that a prophecy has been fulfilled to provide bullet proof evidence.

Have you seen any evidence of a fulfilled prophecy? If you have then please provide a link.  :D

Tbh, I don't think I've heard of a single alleged prophecy that, if fulfilled, would prove anything of any consequence, other than creating more questions for scientists and more superstition for believers.
