The bible is a collection of visions, where visions are even possible, combine with parables that tell a broader truth about the operation and cycles that civilizations go through. If we're going in that direction, I have some interesting anecdotes to share. First, if there is even a shred of credibility *at all* to the cia, or at least its predecessors: they declassified their interview of uri geller, and claimed he did in fact correctly predict almost all the objects in their test, and that at the time they classified it and lied to the public because of the implications. I guess it makes sense from a purely theoretical standpoint that "remote viewing" and "visions of the future" might be possible if there is any reason to believe in retrocasuality at all. Many scientists claim the arrow of time is an epiphenomenon, rather than a real dimension, and many physics equations can be run *forward* or *backwards* in simulation. I don't mean to hand wave or invoke 'woo' strictly speaking. Only to suggest there is the *potentiality* that theres a kernal of truth there. On the personal level, and this doesn't mean much if you're a skeptic, but I started out as an atheist until I had several things happen in my family that I still can't explain: I was staying with my aunt over the summer decades ago. She was leaving to pick up my cousin, and had an ominous feeling while leaving. She adamantally did not want to take my other cousin with her. The car would be full. And the only place she would have been able to sit would have been in the middle seat. She got in a horrible accident on the way back. The car was crushed down the middle. Had my cousin came, she would have had to sit in the middle seat, and would not be alive today. *A powerful and disturbing gut feeling.* That is the only difference between my cousin being alive or dead today. I also dreamed of my sister, standing on a ship stranded in a train yard built on a lake bed, in the middle of a dry dusty wasteland. On the haul, in russian was the word for "birth". She was pregnant in the dream. I told her about it. A month later I found out she was pregnant. She'd been trying for two years. And I just so happen to have a dream a month prior. The third instance, and mind you, this is out of *dozens* of predictive dreams over the years, my mother woke up one day and had a dream of a man sneaking in the window and dragging my younger sister away. She had this dream over and over, three or four times a week, *for months*. That summer we caught a man trying to sneak in her window but didn't catch him in time. He later snuck into a neighbors window and tried to kidnap our neighbors daughter. I think there is some truth to the prophecies and predictions in the bible. Whether it is 100%, or a collection of visions and insights is another matter. We are however definitely living in extraordinary times.
