There are over 300 prophecies given in the Old Testament concerning Christ's birth, life, death and resurrection. All of these were fulfilled in the New Testament with phenomenal accuracy, without exception. According to the laws of probability, this is a mathematical impossibility. It cannot happen by random chance.
In Grant Jeffery's book "The Signature of God" the question is asked what is the chance that 17 of 48 major prophecies would come to pass. The culculation was 1 chance in 480 billion x1 billion x 1 trillion. This proves that there was an intelligence orchestrating these prophecies that is infinately greater than man's
If an atheist would acknowledge this, then he would have to concede the God exists. Fortunately, there are some ex-atheists like Lee Strobel, on investigating the evidence were converted to Christianity.
There is another kind of atheist who will resists irrefutable evidence that is mathematical, scientific or even logical because of an emotional bias. There are even some that wallow in deception that atheism is even intellectual, when in fact it is anti-intellectual.
I have found two types of atheists. One that resists truth because of ignorant skepticism. You can detect it because their arguments are shallow. The other kind of atheist has the knowledge, but through self-hypnosis, struggles in self-deception. Both types are really intellectually dishonest. Sometimes there is a measure of revealed knowledge of God, or even a witness of Christ, but they reject it. If they do not repent their punishment will be greater.
