For a start,he claims that the OT says the Messiah will be born in Bethlehem. It doesn't. He claims, because it's popular, that's right. Not true. He claims that the destruction of the 2nd temple, which apparently happened in 70AD was "right after Jesus' crucifixion" - well, yeah, if you consider 40 years "right after". He claims a whole heap of stuff for which there is no basis in reality.

There were LOTS of prophets at that time, and it could easily have applied to any of them. There are probably ones who it applies better to. I mean, twice the guys lifespan is hardly "recent".

maybe 40 years is shorter to them than it is to us!

You can't prove that it was God's prophesy. You can't prove God exists. All you have proved is that if you set your filters wide enough there is something in the bible (which may have been written either before OR after, we have no way of telling) that MIGHT correlate with events which probably happened.
I'm still an atheist. I'm still waiting for you to disprove the FSM, or hobgoblins.
