His predictions of the future have mystified scholars for over four hundred years. Nostradamus made over one thousand predictions and historians say that over half of them have already come true. What are you thoughts ???

I really used to believe he was for real, but there's just too much coincedental things that anyone could have predicted. Not to mention The way his words are interperated, could be way off. We as a human race always want to find something exciting to keep us entertained...and mystyfied. It's interesting, but I'm a little sceptical. When things get handed down from generation to generation, some things get lost, or changed. Thats why I'm sceptic about the bible as well...Just remember that little game we played in school, where ten or twelve people line up and the teacher whispers something in the first kids ear and they have to pass the sentence down the line, by whispering it. By the time it got to the last person and the teacher asks what they heard, it's totally different, or has things added or subtracted from the original.
...Sorry I guess you shouldn't talk philosophy when yer drinkin beer, huh?...lol

I kind of believe they are related. Not everything will happen in 2012, it will be the start of things starting to happen. It will probably take about 8 to 10 years or so before s**t really hits the fan. Nostradamus did predict that a comet will cause some destruction and also a newly formed Muslim empire led by the Antichrist will start WW III. The Biblical prophecies pretty much also coincide with this.

Nostramus predictions are just guesses and nothing else. I could make some random predictions and some of them would seem to come true in the future. It is like throwing darts at a dart board. Eventually you are going to hit a bulls eye.

No. There isn't one person that can use his writings to predict anything in the future. These people are always looking in the past then guessing at the closest matching prediction which kind of defeats the purpose of being called a prediction.

I doubt it. If you interpret and re-interpret something long enough, I'm sure you'll be able to match it up to something in history that comes close. When I was younger I thought it interesting but if you read his writings, they make no sense at all...so how anyone can relate one phrase of mumbo jumbo and claim it's in relation to a particular event is beyond me...I've seen no connection where others seemingly appear to have made one.
He supposedly had "visions"....my guess was it was those pewter cups they drank out of. A good "dube" could make you see the future just as clearly.....LOL

My own thoughts on the matter, my love, are these:
Nostradamus was driven out of his mind by mercury poisoning and wrote a lot of gibberish.
Humans, being as we are, trapped in time and aware of the inevititability of our own death, seek desperately for some loop hole.
Incomprehensible quatrains offer what appear to many to be hints as the future we so desperately seek to understand, so we latch onto them and torture them until they reveal what we'd like to see.
I think it's all nonsense.

I don't believe anyone's able to interpret Nostradamus' predictions in a useful or meaningful way

Yes kinda.Many of his predictions have either came through or awful close to exactly the way he predicted.I still think that his prediction of the fire from the sky within the Middle eastern conflict will be a nuclear weapon.Iran is almost at capability of nuclear warheads.Within this year they will achieve it ,unless they are stopped.They don't seek this knowledge for power of electricity to their cities.They are enriching uranium for a nuke explosive.They will fire it into Israel,and that we can not tolerate.Next would be the USA.

Nostradamus wrote very vague short poems, they have no specific meaning. The only reason some people thinks they have been fulfilled is that they are vague enough to fit some actually events into... not that they clearly state anything.

Do you check out your 'sign' in the daily Horoscope? Do you believe it applies to you personally? If you do then you also 'believe' Nostradamus' super-vague 'predictions'.
