Well it is the case, not in general but on these forums. Just look at any religion thread? There is even the need to have a sticky at the top reminding some people.
Please point out one person, just one, who shares my religion (Islam) yet believes my views are 'somewhat bonkers' in regards to this topic.
What we regard as proof may be different, I believe my sources are the most authentic whereas you may believe your sources such as CNN, BBC News, or whichever media outlet are more so. The fact remains though, 1400 year old documents as you put it, have enabled people to foresee events before you or those you regard as experts even thought it was possible. When I said Israel will launch a war, you called it conspiracy theory claptrap or words to similar effect, yet after a period of time, Castiel and others start threads to discuss whether Israel will attack Iran, we have numerous news articles suggesting it may happen, but suddenly it is no longer a conspiracy because the 'experts' have only just woken up. They are still lagging far far behind.
As I said (and you even quoted me) MANY things can happen which will completely change the big picture. They could happen tomorrow for all we know. The fact of the matter is, things are moving in the direction I suggested rather then going the opposite way, do you accept that since you were the one challenging almost everything I posted?
