Nostradamus

Froix · 08-01-2008, 06:49 PM

A bit of history first...

Michel de Nostredame (14 December 1503 or 21 December 1503[1] – 2 July 1566), usually Latinized to Nostradamus, was a French apothecary and reputed seer who published collections of prophecies that have since become famous world-wide. -Wiki

Is this guy for real or what? At first you'd think he'd just made lots of prophecies that he just got credit for those that came out and the rest ignored but some of his famous prophecies are a bit exact.

The Death of Henry II from a jousting accident

The young lion will overcome the older one,
On the field of combat in a single battle;
He will pierce his eyes through a golden cage,
Two wounds made one, then he dies a cruel death.

The Fire of London Sep 2, 1666

The blood of the just will be demanded of London,
Burnt by the fire in the year 66

Here's a conspiracy theory for you. Is it possible he or some other party is responsible for this actual events to sort of justify this so called prophecies?

I dont think that one of us could really predict what would the future be. I'm guessing that his prophecy is just one of many more prophecies that didn't actually happen. Its just my opinion.

People can predict the future all they want, its a coinsidence if it becomes true or not. So I don't know if it's a conspiracy, but there have been proficies throughout history that have come true.

There can be coincidences but as far prophecies there seems no logic to it. We do read in literature about the predictions, but it all fiction.There is nothing like this in reality,and there is no need of paying much heed to what is coming up, it is the present that is more valuable.

Prophecies are as false as the so-called prophets who are declaring them. How many of these predictions have there been and how many have come true? The problem is that people so want to believe them that they turn half-truths into scripture. Certainly, of their many statements, one has to be correct sometime. Besides, predictions are stated vaguely, or with much embellishments that it's hard to distinguish it.

Predictions are stated using vague words and obscure personalities and places..the easier to reorganize the ideas to suit the purpose. These descriptions could apply to various incidents in history. The people behind these predictions are preying on the gullibility and the money of the unwary victims.

Coming up with predictions is really not that difficult if you know what language to use and are able to extrapolate future events judging by what is going on right now. I do not believe in coincidence, and I do think Nostradamus had some skills of prediction, but he was certainly not psychic.
