Contrary to popular belief, Nostradamus's predictions have not been accurate. Especially when you take into account that he predicted thousands and thousands of events. Some had to come true just out of the sheer number.

Not one of Nostradamus's so-called predictions has ever predicted anything. Every single supposed prediction has been discovered in hindsight. In any case, the wording is so ambiguous, it could mean anything.

Anyone who makes thousands of predictions is bound to get a few right. Law of averages. Nostradamus made thousands of predictions. A few were right. Very few.

Worthless...
The things he wrote are in an ancient version of french, with several other languages thrown in, the quatrains are vague, riddle like, with astrological points used for dating...
Any interpretation could be written into any particular quatrain, with people fighting over translations, and even interpretation of what each one "means".
Even if he was the most accurate prophet of all time, no one could be sure that any event actually corresponds to what he wrote, since the only one who could be sure, Nostradamus, is quite dead and gone...

People will see what they want to in terms of his predictions. If you want to find some truths, you probably will. If you think it is rubbish, thats what it will be to you. Personally, I think that his quatrains are fascinating, but that they are most likely a disguised and creative recreation of contemporary events. The most amazing thing about Nostrodamus to me was the fact that he never died from the plague even though most his family did and he treated hundreds of people with it. Was it his DNA? Luck? Precautionary practices? Whatever it was, it was amazing!

by ability of understand-how the way of the universe, society, and so on. you may, understanding the present activities, anticipate the previous. that's not lots predicting the destiny yet understanding the end results of the present direction of action. merely like understanding that in case you circulate to conflict, harmless people will die, or that there will be a drought, accompanied by ability of a famine in Africa interior the close to destiny. quite extra complicated than that and it takes an extremely insightful individual. psychics can merely anticipate activities frequently and not with particular information--no names, no dates or numbers, that's quite merely an phantasm.

So we are to take to heart the ramblings of some mad man who made predictions that are worded in such a way to mean almost anything you want it to?

I saw a special about him on the history channel, and I think that most of his predictions were weak, and most of them are general, which one can draw many conclusions.

In a nutshell...they're crap.
Nostradamus wrote, literally, thousands of his quatrains, in a language so vague, they have to be interpreted. Given the sheer volume of 'predicitions' he made, it stands to reason that at least a few of them could be interpreted as coming true...but that doesn't mean that they are.
