Couple of thoughts:
It took 24 pages from some numbskull to bring up "irreducible complexity". That's progress I think. I wonder what other hair-brained Answers in Genesis garbage we will get soon?
Next, as to Biblical Texts:
LOL. We don't know when they things like the prophecy were written. How they changed with each successive translation and writing. They had to be passed down orally or re-written. If you have any shred of thought, you know that things change that way ,drastically.
Further, they weren't written in fricking 21st century English. The languages then were for the most part far less complex. They had a fraction of the words we have today, and singular words had sometimes dozens of meanings depending on context and other factors. There is fierce debate on even mundane words in surviving texts from far later than when they were originally supposedly taken down.
Anyone relying on Scripture as the literal word and fact is, in short, an idiot.

So? The Dead Sea scrolls are not the original. They are a copy.
A copy that is dated before the fall of Jericho. It's checkmate, have a good day.

The dead sea scrolls are radio carbon dated to over 1,000 years AFTER the fall of Jericho.

Almost all scholars agree that the book of Joshua holds little of historical value.[3] It was written by authors far removed from the times it depicts,[7] and was intended to illustrate a theological scheme in which Israel and her leaders are judged by their obedience to the teachings and laws (the covenant) set down in the book of Deuteronomy, rather than as history in the modern sense.[8] The story of Jericho, and the conquest generally, probably represents the nationalist propaganda of the kings of Judah and their claims to the territory of the Kingdom of Israel after 722 BCE;[9] these chapters were later incorporated into an early form of Joshua written late in the reign of king Josiah (reigned 640–609 BCE), and the book was revised and completed after the fall of Jerusalem to the Babylonians in 586, and possibly after the return from the Babylonian exile in 538.[10] The combination of archaeological evidence and analysis of the composition history and theological purposes of the Book of Joshua lies behind the judgement of archaeologist William G. Dever that the battle of Jericho "seems invented out of whole cloth."[6]

Ok guys, y'all believe they made the bible up, I believe it came from divine inspiration. We may never agree, sadly.

Irrefutable

Fair enough, a mistaken argument I used.
Posted on 6/2/16 at 1:40 pm to dbeck
It still is irrefutable. Disprove it.

I'm sure the bible has plenty of actual historical events within it
I don't think anyone "prophesied" any of those events though

I mean we know for a fact that men made the Bible up.
But I'm not sure what this has to do with Evolution.

wait, so now y'all think Isaiah was written after the fall of Jericho because you weren't there when it happened? How in the world do you believe in anything existing you haven't personally seen
There's some next level pretzel twisting going on in here.

The burden of proof lies on the one making the outlandish claim (that a man predicted an event that happened hundreds of years after he died).
