CAN THE FUTURE BE PREDICTED?

Since ancient times people have had precognitive powers, and prophecy has been a big part of many religions. Many people today still believe that it is possible to predict the future. The Temple of Apollo in Delphi for example housed the most important oracle of ancient Greece, known as Pythia. Only the wealthy could afford the fees of the oracle and many questions of state were decided by what the Delphic oracle foretold.

In both Old and New Testaments of the Bible we read of people whose dreams foretold the future and would influence the decisions of kings or pharaohs. The Chinese emperors would base their decrees upon the auguries read in the I Ching oracle of change. And even today we see Ronald Regan, Hillary Clinton, Mikhail Gorbachev, and the British Royal Family consult seers, psychics and astrologers to help them plan their actions.
