Probability 1 in 105 x 103 x 102 x 104 x 105 x 103 x 103 = 1 in 1 x 1028 Or 1 in 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. One man in how many men has fulfilled these eight prophecies? We can answer this question by dividing our 1028 by the total number of people who have lived since the time of these prophecies. The best information available indicates the number to be about 88 billion or 8.8 x 1010. To simplify the computation let us call the number 1011. The chance that any man might have lived down to the present time and fulfilled all eight prophecies is 1 in 1017 or 1 in 100 quintillion.
Probability Any man fulfilling 16 prophecies About 1 in 1 x 1045 Fulfilling 300 prophesies all with a 1 in 3 chance About 1 in 1 x 10100 or 1 in a Googol
