NOTE: Peter Stone in Science Speaks cited just 11 Bible prophecies and calculated their probability of fulfillment at 8x10 to the 63rd degree.  That is 10 with 63 zeros following it! But that is just 11 prophecies from the Bible. There are over 10,000 other predictions in Scriptures which are already, or soon to be, fulfilled.
