I watched a documentary, and only about three (out of hundreds, thousands?) came true by any reasonable stretch.

Heres some of his predictions that came true:

"The two fireballs will come down from the sky and destroy the two giants in the New City." < This is a prediction about 9/11, the fireballs are the planes, the giants are the twin towers, and the New City is New York City.

"The Crosses will rise, and Hister will lead his army against the Jews." < Prediction about The Nazis, the crosses are swastikas, Hister is obviously Hitler, the army is the Nazis, and the Jews are. . .well. . .the Jews. I'm not really sure if he predicted what the Jews are, and I do not know the exact quote of this prediction.

Heres a short story of Nostradamus: He was going to the King's palace [ I think ] because the King thought so highly of him. To challenge Nostradamus, the king asked him what color pig they would be cooking that day for dinner, White or Black [ I think it was these colors ]. Nostradamus said White, and the King laughed at him because they were going to cook the Black Pig. However, when a cook was going to cook the black pig, I don't know what really happened but I think it got too burnt for eating, so they had to cook the white pig. It figures Nostradamus' prediction came true, maybe it was based on a 50/50 chance, who knows.

thats one crazy prophet

Maybe it was his accent...or maybe he studdered or messed up the word.

Wow!! You got two of the three I mentioned! Nice work ol' chap!

I wouldn't count that last one because it is a 50/50, and it's not like that's a reliable story anyway. Here's a story about me:
One day frazz was talking to Big Bird, after he was elected president of Saudi Arabia, and he agreed to blow up Canada with his mind. He did and he then he killed Big Bird and ate him for Thanksgiving dinner along with all of late Big Bird's happy friends. I've even got a picture to prove it.

Wow you really never have something nice to say did you. And since when did people open up topics, and read all 130 posts just to find out if what they're gonna post has been posted. I just said it was a short story about him, it could have been coincidence, it could've not been, which I stated, so don't go saying crap like that 'story' in a serious topic .

Their astronomy was so great with no knowledge of black holes or novas or anything of the sort.

Maybe because they were so smart in maths. Some of the VERY early mathematicians could calculate the volume of the sky, or something like that, so maybe it wasn't astronomy that was so great, but rather math. We can't be exaclty sure because this stuff happened hundreds of years ago, and all the evidence we have is corpses, documents, it's just not enough to prove some things.

Scientists can't figure out the Mayan calendar, no matter how hard they try. The complexities and reasoning behind it are so mysterious and significant that it proves the Mayans were more intelligible than us. That's why they did human sacrifices.

Similarly, no Scientists can figure out why I wrote down this deeply significant number: 3012981305.05.5841

Wow. The volume of the sky? That's amazing! Not even we can do that!!! I'm almost twee feet tall so I can almost touch the sky, maybe some day.


Sorry I'm being harsh, it's just that your reasoning is so bad.

Care to back up the bolded with proper references from reliable sources?

And sorry, but the last sentance is a logical fallacy so it nulls any argument/s you have towards the subject.

I have a source. It's called sarcasm.

LOL @ Kellimus.
Overzealous logical fallacy analysis FTL.

They could calculate the volume of it without even using anything, they just sat there and figured a way out.

Volume of the sky? What a pointless and arbitrary thing to calculate. The limit of the atmosphere are about 100 km above the earth surface(calculable from gas laws and surface pressure), and earth's radius is about 6370 km(geometry and the sun). So earth's volume is about 4 trillion km^3, and the atmosphere is about 200 billion km^3 in volume. If by sky, you don't mean atmosphere, please clarify.

I said that I wasn't too sure exactly what it was that I read about it, I think it meant atmosphere also. The astronomy of ancient people had more to do with math than actual astronomy, I think, at least. It may seem pointless, but think, if someone could measure the volume of the sky, by just standing on the ground and using their brain, they must be amazingly intelligent to figure a way to get the answer. I wonder what ever happened to the intelligence ancient people had, because we with our technology today can't seem to solve some of their equations//discoveries.

Maybe you didn't catch my sarcasm (how this was achieved I cannot fathom). THat's just stupid. The sky is so stinking arbitrary. If you don't know what they meant, I cannot gauge how impressive it is.

Here's another impressive story.

A guy in Alexandria figured out the radius of the earth very accurately by measuring two shadows in two different cities and using that to infer the size of the Earth. Impressive?
A guy in the USA figured out Hawking Radiation using just his brain. Guess who. A guy in the USA thought up E=MC^2. Come on, you can get this one.
The previous three examples are, in my opinion, more or less equally impressive, all in their own way. To say that people are less smart now is foolsih. It's just that today, as in millenia past, geniuses are hard to come by.

I'm not saying people today are stupid, I'm just saying like that we aren't discovering anything and there really are no 'geniuses' alive right now. You did kinda prove me wrong with that story though . Hopefully a new Einstein or something comes up soon and can give us the true answer to this question:

On December 12, 2012, will Earth be destroyed?

Probably only time can tell, but who knows.

Yes, you are completely wrong. We aren't discovering anything? That is one of the more ignorant statements I've ever seen.


What is the point? I am the new Einstein, and I say the answer is no. Prove me wrong before it is too late!


Redundant.

A German Scientist.

i like that

anyways randomly saying, their was this guy from the dominican rupulic (or puerto rico i forget wich) and claimed he was the anti christ and hes touring the world i htink now giving speeches and stuff lol
