Answer 1

Nothing in life is a coincidence. Everything comes together perfectly exactly the way it was meant to. we live in an amazing universe!

Answer 2

Some predictions or prophecies could be true, but there are terribly few that are.

For your link in particular, it was terribly vague and a lot of information was inferred from it that wasn't there in the first place. Supposedly the prediction was given on Sept 11th 1990 and this is taken as a prediction of the Sept 11th attack in 2001. Why? The prediction itself didn't give information regarding a date. If the date the prediction was supposedly significant, why wasn't the place significant as well? Or the weather? etc.

Other than that, all that prediction is is a statement that there are evil forces INSIDE New York working to destroy it. The Sept 11th attack did not originate in New York, the city was not destroyed, and the statement there would be an attack on America's heart has nothing to due with the twin towers (miss identified in the prediction as the state building; the prediction called for an attack on one building, but two buildings were actually hit). America's heart is American soil and lives. Any attack that violated the assumed safety of America would attack America's heart. Given history, that was a safe prediction; EVERY nation gets attacked on its own soil, eventually.

Sometimes predictions will appear to sync up if we look at it just right, but a true prediction will appear to be correct when it is looked at from any direction.

Answer 3

Depends on the prediction and how likely it is to occur. I'm referring to abnormal events, not something where there's a 50/50 chance of being right.

Strange, but most of the time you never hear about the predictions of a major event until afterward. Then people say they knew it would happen. So I don't have too much faith in them.

The worst prediction I ever heard was one of my own. Yep, I'll admit it. Back when the Rolling Stones first appeared, I said that they were nothing but a cheap imitation of the Beatles, and would never last.

I've stopped making predictions.

Answer 4

I don't even count that as coincidence. She said a "great destructive act" will happen in New York City. That could be anything. She doesn't give a date, which means really there is no way for the prophecy to be wrong. If you can't point to an event, you can just say "the prophecy hasn't come to pass yet" and then as soon as something does happen, you can say "Look, the prophecy was true!"

I don't deny the possibility of predictions, but this certainly isn't one of them.

Answer 5

If you have a seeing of two cars bearing down at high speed on an unmarked blind intersection at night and in one is someone you know and can speak to during that day, I believe you must tell them. Your presentment may be wrong, but, if it isn't and there is a terrible wreak, how can you live with having not spoken.

Yes, two cars bearing down at high speed on an unmarked blind intersection at night could be a coincidence, but the seeing isn't.

I'd rather appear foolish, or a "false prophet" than take the chance on my friend's life.

Answer 6

People make predictions all the time, but are only right in a fraction of the times.Things will happen they way they will, some things are controllable, and others are not.

Answer 7

It has been said that Nostradamos in his writings has written about acts of war and terror before they happened, so maybe that will help you decide if you believe in prediction or feel that it is just mere coincidence.

Answer 8

you only remember the one prediction you made that came out right. You never remember the 1,987,579 predictions you made that were wrong.

Answer 9

I believe in the power of positive thinking. If people believe something will happen, it often will.

Answer 10

no if you notice how vague they are it almost always happens like i can predict.. that a ship will sink this year and we will fight terrorist
