The Man Who Saw Tomorrow/ Nostradamus......

[Hunny]

How many of you have watched that documentary....and how many of you believe in it ???


Personally...its way too weird for me...I believe in it....

Didn't watch it . . . but basically I feel Nostradamus was extremely intelligent in that he left so many predictions that were JUST vague enough that pretty much any world event could fit into one of his predictions and make people think he knew it was coming . . .

I actually think that most of his preditions have come true already... well, that is to say that they had come true by about the year 1600. :hmm:

I watched a program on him and his predictions several years ago, I can honestly say I believe the program was one sided. They mostly conversed about what predictions were accurate, I am curious to know what the percentage of his predictions were accurate...

The problem is that you could never confirm which were accurate. First, even if the event came to pass, you could never say with certainty whether or not that was the event he was talking about. Second, if nothing has yet happened that would fit his predictions, you can simply argue that what he was predicting has not yet come to pass. :shrug:

No, not really. I recently read a collection of his quatraines, and in some he hinted at the time they were to take place but never came right out and said it. The thing is, pretty much anyone who has read his quatraines has made conjectures as to their meanings, and without fail, those meanings always seem to have significance in relation to events at that time.
