There are numerous sites which deal exclusively with the many Bible prophecies fulfilled, they give an explanation which can fit the scenarios, however given that the bible was written using symbols, parables and parallels, none of the prophecies say outright and directly what they mean.

So we have :

1/. people can't precisely prove that the explanations are correct.

2/. people can't exactly prove that the explanations are incorrect.

So I come down on the side of the affirmative, Christ existed.

My reasons are:  Credible historians from that early period cite Jesus in their works, the Babylonian Talmud, Lucian of Samosata, plus the writings of the N.T.

I agree, as any evidence from Jesus' own lifetime would have gone the way of everything else, when the Romans defeated the Jews and totally destroyed Jerusalem etc.

The Romans razed everything, slaughtered over one million Jews and enslaved the rest.

Indeed - there is only one interpretation of the Quran - and only the tiny minority of crazies have it right.

Apparently Muhammed predicted the ethnic cleansing of all non-Muslims. He did not order it. Lo and behold, his prediction came true.

Nepotism. Typical 

Moses, you cannot be serious.

Let's assume you are 100% correct on that, what on earth does that have to do with predicting the future, and what accurate future prediction have been made using that model.
