No. Too many variables. The so called prophets seem to have made tons of "predictions" and modern day believers cherry pick the ones that roughly appear to have been accurate. Of course with many spins and suppositions, the modern interpreters come up with " proof" that the old timers were accurate.
Take as an example the current fad of the Mayan calendar ending in December 2012. The modern interpreters are hyping it as a Mayan prediction of the end of the world. Just because the Mayans did not mathematically develop a calendar beyond 2012 somehow means they thought it was useless to have one that went beyond? Therefore end of world. If the Mayans were so good at seeing into the future, they sure missed the part where the Spanish were coming to enslave and kill them.
I've yet to see any real future predictions that are accurate. How about all those Popular Mechanic magazine covers we looked at in the 50's that made us think we would all be zipping around in small personal flying cars like the Jetsons by the year 2000? One in every garage. Later on there were popular predictions of entire bubble cities colonizing the Moon. It did sell magazines, though.
How about the vaunted seers of the future showing up with winning lotto tickets once in a while?
I can be even more coldly critical by wondering why we don't look backward and see accurately. I'm such a party pooper, eh? <lol>
