Ok guys there seems to a common misconception about his predictions. We are unable to tell if his predictions were correct because his predictions were completely vague. Nostradamus more than likely figured that something would happen at one point in time and if he predicted it in any vague sentence, than he would credited as a prophet. For example, people believed that he predicted the attacks on September 11th after he said, "A tower will engulf in fire" or something like that translated (thats at least what I translated it to). As you may notice, that statement is very vague and not specific. That statement could cover any tower fire, building fire, tragic fire event, etc... from his time period to ours. His predictions are souly based on ones interpretations , and no scientific fact.
