Instead of rambling on and on about numbers and great crisises, why didn't this great prophet just say "on september 11th hijacked planes will hit the world trade center and the pentagon" or "the Columbia shuttle will be destroyed on reentery because a piece of foam hit it during takeoff"?

Let me ask you this: where are the misses? We've seen a "911" and a "311" post. By your method, that seems to cover about 48 days out of the year. Assuming there are five similar "prophecies", covering an additional 120 days, that means that any event that occurs will have a 50-50 chance of falling within one day of one of these "prophecies". And given how you're allowed to stretch a "hit" to cover things you never predicted, like the shuttle disaster, while ignoring things you did predict, like the school shootings and assassinations, it seems unlikley that this prophecy could fail. |

![]() But I must ask, why the switch in date formats? In (3), you use the day/month format; in (4), the month/day format. That's convenient for your argument, I must admit, but it's a bit of a sleight-of-hand. And the one-day-off bit is another bit of sleight-of-handedness. But that's the way these numerological speculations work, I reckon. With enough wriggling, you can find "amazing" coincidental numbers for any event. |

It's amazing how much coincidence there is in the world if you're willing to manipulate facts to suit your desires...

And a retrospective act of shoehorning that is possibly one of the most ridiculous prophetic contortions I have ever seen? Very very poor response. |
