Would you accept a scientific explanation for Nostradamus prophecies?

Answer 1

James Randi wrote a book about Nostradamus. Published in many languages, the Chicago Tribune calls the book “[an] imposing and fascinating investigation of the world's most famous visionary..."The Mask of Nostradamus" is an outstanding book, full and rich, a meticulous and thoughtful work of historical scholarship.”

Answer 2

I accept some of science just like I accept some of what people tell me on the pulpit. Just because a preacher preaches something doesn't mean that I agree with it. I check my Bible, pray, and think about what is said to make sure that it is logical and historically accurate. Likewise, I do not accept a theory just because some scientist says it's true. I check the facts, listen to the logic of the argument and debate the issue with other learned people. God made science and I feel fortunate to live in a time where I can learn the wonders of his laws in this universe. But I've learned from history, as well, and have found that sometimes scientists swear that something is true and then it's not.

Answer 3

They're far too vague to be considered anything more than an interesting guess. For instance, if I were to say,"A town will fall", sometime, somewhere, a town will indeed fall, whether it be by natural disaster or an enemy attack, or simply a poor choice of location. There's not much science to his prophecies, really, nor any sort of mysticism.

Answer 4

I would not even say scientific explanation was needed.

They are a collection of vauge happenings that people try and fit into actual events.

No exact dates, no real details, no EXACT names etc.

Mystic Meg can do better.

Answer 5

Have you ever actually READ a Nostradamus quatrain? It is meaningless drivel. The "interptretation" is always applied after the event!

Answer 6

These prophecies are vague.After occuring something people interpret that it has come true.Why you can not interpret and write down clearly in English what will happen in future.We can take at least take precaution.
If you write 10 prediction now and verify it after few years ,you will be surprised many will come true.It is mere chance.

Answer 7

I would accept one if there was one, but there obviously isn't.

Nostradamus purpously wrote his quatrains in a cryptical manner, so that they could be interpreted in any way, AFTER the event.

He never once prophesised anything before the event, which later came true, never, which is why he was sacked as a court astrologer.

Answer 8

Scientific? As in scientifically verifiable? Sure.

Answer 9

yes!
