Atheists, how do you explain Biblical prophecy?

Asked by silverlining (78points) May 26th, 2011

I’m asking this from a neutral POV. Do you believe that the fulfilled Biblical prophecies are just coincidence (such as Israel being destroyed, the Jews scattering, and the country being rebulilt)? Also, what do you make of Nostredamus? I read that he only had a 7% accuracy rate and that his followers wrote stuff later under his name, but some sources say he predicted the date of the French Revolution, i.e., storming of the Bastille- which is pretty crazy. Obviously, Christians and mystics attribute this to divine intervention, but how do you explain it?
