Chris, if you had read my posts, you will know I am not a determinist, I do not believe life is all mapped out, I argue the case for 'free will'. I do accept parapsychology lab evidence for precognition (to me the evidence looks better as a fairly short term effect, prediction of a event not greatly into the future) and again I do accept the evidence for 'presentiment' (an effect very shortly proceeding)

Do you still think I am David Mabusa?

To be fair, I have not looked at enough of Nostradamus predictions in detail to make an informed judgment, lets just say I am almost as skeptical of anyone making precise predictions into the future as you would be.

Also note, I am currently opposed to mediums 'fortune telling' ... as in giving advice. I am supportive of mediums or psychics confirming past events, which can be confirmed and judged right or wrong immediately and is completely harmless IMHO. Yes I do think *some* are beating the odds of cold reading due to investigation of the matter ...... however psychics only 'fortune telling' makes judging their accuracy difficult and worse precise details may influence people (with too much faith in fortune tellers) over important life decisions for the worse.
