A number of years ago, Peter W. Stoner and Robert C. Newman wrote a book entitled Science Speaks. The book was based on the science of probability and vouched for by the American Scientific Affiliation. It set out the odds of any one man in all of history fulfilling even only eight of the 60 major prophecies (and 270 ramifications) fulfilled by the life of Christ.
The probability that Jesus of Nazareth could have fulfilled even eight such prophecies would be only 1 in 1017. That's 1 in 100, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000.
Stoner claims that that many silver dollars would be enough to cover the face of the entire state of Texas two feet deep. Now I've been to Texas. I've driven for days to get across Texas. Texas is a very big state. Who in his right mind would suppose that a blindfolded man, heading out of Dallas by foot in any direction, would be able, on his very first attempt, to pick up one specifically marked silver dollar out of 100, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000?
I think that is plenty of proof. If you still want to doubt, that is not a lack of faith, that is rebellion against God. I am sorry to break it to you but it is true. Belief in Jesus is not blind faith. All faith is based on some information. The information in favor of Jesus is massive!
If you want to believe in Jesus, not just about Him, in Him, I can introduce you. He will not disappoint you! I promise. You will disappoint Him but He will not disappoint you!
PS. Do you know how big Texas is? I was born there and when we would drive to WV to visit family it would take us 3 days. My dad was the only one who could drive and he would drive all day and we would stop every night at a hotel. The first day? That is how long it took to get out of Texas!
Here is a clip from a website (https://infographicjournal.com/how-big-is-texas/)
At 268,596 square miles, Texas is a big state — the second largest, of course, after Alaska. As it turns out, if Texas were a country it would also be one of the largest in the world, ranking as the 39th largest country by area our of around 200 countries, just a tad larger than Myanmar. However, those stats may not give you a great idea of how Texas’ girth actually compares to different countries, since size is often better understood visually.
