2002, June 21 - Second Coming Nostradamus
Posted by Deepwaters

In all fairness to Nostradamus, who is the most accurate of prophets so far, he is often off by 1 year in his dates.....

2002+1=2003...

I think what Deepwaters was trying to say (While trying to avoid obvious sarcasm) is that no matter what time period you look at, there's *always* going to be *somebody* willing to put a date on "The End". What makes Newton's predictions any different from anybody else's predictions?

Hmmm...The Bible *does* mention that the End Times would see many "false prophets" before the actual End...But then, the entirety of human history had many "false prophets" popping up. So would that mean that some of those prophecies (also made by fallable human beings, just as all of the other "End Times Fortune Tellers" have been) contained in the Bible are more examples of "false prophets"?

Makes you wonder, doesn't it?

Don't forget about every other week by the Weekly World News.

Actually, some cable stations carry BBC America...check your listings...

Just a few things about Deepwaters' old list of inaccurate end-of-world predictions:

There have been even more inaccurate predictions of other things, such as predictions that airplanes would be invented, and yet those things eventually came true.

Eventually, someone's end of the world prediction is going to be right.

Theoretical physicists now talk of the multiverse. If there is a multiverse, then every one of those inaccurate predictions may have been right in some universe.

When a person dies, to them it's the end of the world.
