I'm not even going to TRY to follow this entire discussion, however one Last comment..

"No, it "has to be wrong" because logical reasoning tells you that real prophesy is impossible. You simply can not see into the future. You can make guesses, but you can not see what will undoubtedly happen. As the name supposedly prophesized appears accurate, something fishy had to have taken place for it to appear accurate (that, or Isaiah was a really good guesser, but it is very improbable that he would have been able to guess the name Cyrus)."

Circular reasoning Fyron. Nothing but; this doesn't respond to my argument at all.

I'm going to point out again that the sound BARRIER was named that for a reason, originally. It was proven wrong more quickly than some assumptions, but logical doesn't always equal correct. Especially if you don't have all the data. And if you're dealing with a godlike force, you DON'T have all the data, because almost by definition a god would be able to break the rules of reality.

So the only way to prove it wasn't predicted is to prove it was written afterwards.
