Nostradamus, Jeane Dixon, Sylvia Browne, Edgar Cayce, or the Bible?

Question

Who has the better track record as far as vague, meaningless prophesy is concerned?

Thank you Stormy, that was sweet. But true, funny enough.

Curious_, GW is fairly vague and meaningless, thank you.

Kallan, I agree the bible is more vague and meaningless.

Answer 1

Nostradamus, Jeane Dixon, Sylvia Browne and Edgar Cayce. The Bible is not vague if you read it.

Answer 2

It really depends on who is telling the story. Writers can make a mountain out of a mole hill. It is easy to predict disasters and wars with vagueness because they are bound to happen and it is all predictable after the fact. Ground breaking on the pentagon was 9/11 and the jet crash into it on 9/11 why didn't people point this out 6 years ago like they are today. Usually disasters are predicted after they happen using the vague writing of yesteryear. this does not mean the predictions were good it means the writers were up on the scoops when the incidents happened. The ten and the Twenty dollar bills could be folded to show the towers burning and the pentagon afire but this is coincidence not a predicted future happenings Nothing has predicted the future the any reasonable state not even the weather.
so my answer is they all have poor track records.

Answer 3

You judge:

Approximately 2500 prophecies appear in the pages of the Bible, about 2000 of which already have been fulfilled to the letter—no errors. (The remaining 500 or so reach into the future and may be seen unfolding as days go by.) Since the probability for any one of these prophecies having been fulfilled by chance averages less than one in ten (figured very conservatively) and since the prophecies are for the most part independent of one another, the odds for all these prophecies having been fulfilled by chance without error is less than one in 102000 (that is 1 with 2000 zeros written after it)!

Nostradamus:1. He predicted that by 1792 Venice, Italy, would become a great power and influence in the world. Venice is still waiting for this to happen. 2. The downfall of the Catholic clergy in A.D. 1609 which he predicted never materialized. 3. Nostradomes predicted that in A.D. 1792, persecution against the Catholic church would arise. It would be more severe than the persecution against the Church in North Africa. Because the Church in North Africa ceased to exist, the continued presence of the Catholic church seems to refute Nostradomes’ prediction. 4. Astrologers were to be persecuted in A.D. 1607. This never happened. 5. By A.D. 1700, China ‘would subdue the whole northern section’ of the world.

Edgar Cayce: Prophecied California falling in the sea, New York sinking beneath the waves, and the lost continent of Atlantis rising out of the ocean, and so on.

Sylvia Brown:Contrary to her predictions, George Bush was not re-elected in 1992. Furthermore, no African and Asian nations under Chinese influence plunged the U.S. into a world war in the 1980s (contrary to the word of Ms. Dixon). Moreover, contrary to the word of Sylvia Brown, Saddam Hussein was NOT assassinated by the summer of 1992 (it was either 1991, 1992, or 1993 that she said; full mnemonic details elude me here). Meanwhile, God’s standard for a true prophet is 100% accuracy (Deuteronomy 18:22).

Answer 4

For being meaning less? The Bible beyond a shadow of a doubt. At least Cayce and the others have 'some' evidence.

Answer 5

Edgar Cayce probably. Can't predict the future too far ahead, that don't work!

Answer 6

Sylvia Brown. She has to be the biggest garbage truck driver.

Answer 7

GW Bush didn't even place?

Answer 8

I am an atheist and it is six of one, half dozen of the other to me.

Answer 9

ooh that's tough.. I'll go with the bible.
