Thread Name: Nostradamus' predictions?
Subject: RE: NOSTRADAMUS' Predictions?
Al Stewart was into the Nostradamus stuff in a big way, specially in the album "Past, Present, and Future". I thought it was interesting, but probably inaccurate.

I have to fairly much agree with Wolfgang on this one. The Nostradamus material is simply too symbolic and convoluted for anyone to use it to predict anything accurately, and it can readily be made to fit most circumstances after the fact.

You could say that about the Book of Revelations as well...

It's more important for us to use our free will intelligently in the present than it is for us to predict future supposedly "inevitable" events. Given the fact that we have free will, we have the option to create a more desirable future at any time. And that's what gives me hope.
