Cho Jinn Posted July 13 #2 Share Posted July 13 I don't believe we'd make it to 5079 at this rate, though I agree that certain people should be sent to Venus. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stiff Posted July 13 #3 Share Posted July 13 "Of course, it's important to take these predictions with a pinch of salt - these are not foregone conclusions but the words of a single woman whose accuracy is questionable to say the least." Ain't that the truth! Yet some folk, even in this day and age will actually believe the hogwash that comes from ye old soothsayers. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fred_mc Posted July 14 #17 Share Posted July 14 Getting energy from Venus is true if you change to getting energy from heat and pressure. Think about fusion. However, fusion is what happens in the sun so saying getting energy from the sun would maybe be more logical, but then you might think about solar panels, which is another thing.

Ajay0 Posted July 15 #20 Share Posted July 15 (edited) Baba Vanga's case is not an anomaly, imho. Surdas was similarly an illiterate, blind man in India who lived in the fifteenth century A.D and who possessed precognitive abilities. Born blind, he was neglected by an indifferent family and callous world around him. From the age of fourteen, Surdas developed precognitive abilities that brought him fame and enabled him to be self-supporting. https://lokahitam.in/surdas/ Quote By the age of fourteen, Surdas developed a keen sixth sense and could predict many things. People were amazed and he was called “miracle boy.” If a villager lost an animal, Surdas could tell him where to find it. He was consulted on the appropriate day to travel or to start any project. People from other villages travelled a long way to meet him and gave their offerings. One day, the landlord’s little toddler wandered off and could not be found. Surdas predicted where the boy was and the boy was found. The landlord was so pleased that he fell at Surdas’ feet and asked his men to build a cottage for him near the tree under which Surdas stayed.

He did not introduce any new religious system as such. Surdas was illiterate and did not write down the songs he created. They were obviously written down by other literate people.

He is no different from people like Sai Baba or all the other fraudulent 'holy people' or 'avatars'. They dress the part, utter some esoteric stuff, perform sleight-of-hand tricks to get people to worship them and make a tidy profit from the retreats, books, seminars and whatever else they can peddle too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
