The Odds .. The Old Testament was written between 1450 BC and 430 BC. It was during this time period that the many prophecies in salvation history were made. So, let us look at 'probabilities' when it comes to a single person fulfilling these prophesies. Scientists guesstimate that 110 - 160 billion human beings have existed throughout history. There are close to 8 billion people alive right now which means approximately 7% of all the people that ever existed are alive right now. The following probabilities are taken from PETER STONER IN 'SCIENCE SPEAKS' (MOODY PRESS). Stoner says that if we use the modern science of probability in reference to EIGHT PROPHECIES, the chance that any man who ever lived down to the present time that could have fulfilled all eight prophecies is 1 in 10 to the power of 17, or the number '1' with 17 zeroes = 100,000,000,000,000,000. In order to help us comprehend this staggering probability, Stoner illustrates it by supposing that we take 1 in 10 to the
