Nostradamus, who I'm sure you're all aware of, was a "seer" or a "prophet" who published a book of prophecies, known by many as The Bible Code. It is said to have predicted things like 9/11.

So, thoughts?
What do you think about him?
Was he delusional or just trying to make some money?
Was he a total quack?
How intelligent are those who believe in his work?
And do you think it has some credibility?

Personally, I think it's a load of s**t. Also, I think he was crazy. And that those who follow him are also delusional.

His work is false.
People can look back on it now and say "Oh! He predicted the rise of Hitler, and the World Trade Centers!"
Unfortunately for them, that's when they look back on it and apply the events to the prediction.
Called a postdiction, or hindsight bias.

LOL! Great topic! In fact, I made a video about how Christiananswers.net trys to debunk Nostradamus, but debunks themselves in the process!

Here it is! It's hilarious!
