All of you can go ahead and use knowledge and reason to help you believe in God; that's completely fine. I personally find it more satisfactory to just have faith in God.

By the way, here's two mathematical prophecies some of you might be interested in reading:

1) http://www.direct.ca/trinity/king.html#1 <-- Titled as "The Unexpected King (A Precise Mathematical Prediction)" by Chuck Missler. I hope nobody minds, but I put this in a link since there's quite a bit of reading.

2) Titled "God's Precise Mathematical Equation; Ezekiel Prophesied Israel's 1948 Rebirth" by Grant R. Jeffrey.

The Jews would remain without an independent nation for another 2,520 biblical years from 536 B.C., the beginning point of the prediction (360 years x 7 = 2,520 years biblical years).

Ezekiel's prophecy of the 430 years declared that the end of Israel's punishment and her final restoration to the land would be accomplished in 2,520 biblical years of 360 days (The biblical year is 360 days long, which is different from our year length which is 365.25 days) each which totals precisely 907,200 days. To convert this period into our calendar year of 365.25 days we simply divide the period of 907,200 days by 365.25 days to reach a total of 2,483.8 of our modern calendar years. Therefore, Ezekiel prophesied that the end of Israel's worldwide captivity would occur precisely 2,483.8 years after the end of the Babylonian Captivity which occurred in the spring of 536 B.C. In these calculations we must keep in mind that there was only one year between 1 B.C. and A.D. 1. There was no year Zero. As an illustration, there were only twelve months between the Feast of Passover on 14th of Nisan in the spring of 1 B.C. and the next annual Feast of Passover in the spring of A.D. 1.

To Calculate When Ezekiel Prophesied the Jews Would Become a Nation Again:

The Babylonian captivity ended in the Spring of 536 B.C. So that's 536.4 B.C. MINUS the duration of Israel's captivity (from Ezekiel 4:3-6), which is 2,483.8 calendar years.
This equals 1,947.4 A.D.
To adjust for the fact there was no year zero between 1 B.C. and A.D. 1, we adjust one year. As a result, add 1.
Therefore; the end of Israel's captivity would occur: 1948 - May 15, The Rebirth of Israel.

On the afternoon of May 14, 1948, the Jews proclaimed the independence of the reborn state of Israel. At midnight, as May 15, 1948, began, the British Mandate officially ended and Israel became an independent nation.

I edited this a little bit since it was jumbled from where I simply copied and pasted it. If you find any information that sounds odd, just point it out. It's most likely my mistake.

I have read something similar to this in the past. Good stuff. I'm going to read through it a few more times before I try to add more. :Thumbs:
