He isn't predicting the future, he is reflecting on the past. Is it likely that all of those unlikely events will happen to the next person born? Definitely not.

Is it possible that they happened to one of the billions of people who lived? Yes. Even more so if that person happens to be God incarnate who created the universe.

In fact, the chances of these highly unlikely events actually goes up if you consider the person claimed to be God and did miracles to demonstrate his divinity - highly unlikely events is the exact thing you would expect from someone proving to be God




> highly unlikely events is the exact thing you would expect from someone proving to be God

That's circular reasoning. "I believe a extremely low probability event because that's what we should expect from the entity I believe in". If I go with that, I can create any weird belief.


>Even more so if that person happens to be God incarnate who created the universe.

Allegedly. No evidence to support this claim exists.


Yall are getting it backwards:

I believe Jesus was God because he claimed to be God. Also, the "unlikely events" (aka miracles) don't disprove he existed and was God.

Other people have claimed to be God, too. They were either lying or were crazy. Jesus was neither.
