[quote="Chronic Diarrhea":8adc7]All Nostradamus did was generalize a lot of events. For example, when he wrote those quadraints, many wars were being faught in Europe at the time. It was actually a pretty good assumption that sooner or later, many countries would get anfry with one another and start a "world war". He also made an educated guess that a world war could be caused by a mad man hungry on world domination (Hitler). As for the world trade center, he generalized that like no other. He didn't predict that a plane would crash into the world trade center; all he said was a bird would crash into two twin brothers. If 9/11 had never happened, we wouldn't have the slightest idea as to what the hell he was talking about. I do give him credit though it is rather amazing that he predicted many things. But remember that he predicted that the world would come to an end on November 12, 1998 (something like that).[/quote:8adc7]
Your exactly right. He made a lot of generalizations. As explained above, its not like he said "American airlines flight whatever will crash into the first tower of the WTC on Spet 11, 2001 at 8:36am" A lot of his stuff that he has predicted has been wrong, What do you call the stuff that is right? Coincidence? Psychic, like Miss Cleo? I don't know I guess thats for you to decide. I don't think I can really buy it though.
