No but seriously: It is FAITH, right..? We don't KNOW for sure...

In general I think that people who say they are Christians should at least TRY to believe in the Bible.

Here is my view:
Some very unlikely things that were predicted in the Bible have actually occurred quite recently. It seems to be quite a bit beyond chance. I can't remember the exact details but it certainly made an impact on me when I heard about it.

As far as I can recall, the prophecy from the Book of Revelations predicts that a series of events like the rise of the antichrist and the battle of Armageddon will take place before the end of the world (after which everyone who believes goes to heaven).

The Battle of Armageddon will be the most terrible war the world has ever seen, starting in Israel... Doesn't sound entirely unlikely to me!

And then afterwards somebody will come to power who unites the world in peace... i.e. like the UN with superpowers. Again, that could quite easily be where the world is heading, given globalism etc, etc.

Another interpretation of the Book of Revelations is that there were quite a lot of magic mushrooms growing near where John (who wrote it) lived. So it's either that, or he was divinely inspired.... But if he was just stoned or made it up, then it's quite remarkable how accurate it was. Personally I choose to believe that he was honest about having had a revelation, and that it may very well have been divine.
