If someone were able to predict future events with great accuracy that would mean that the future in some sense actually exists and is able to send back messages to the past to those who are capable of understanding what it means. I find this to be an incredibly stupid idea because time itself doesn't seem to exist in the past or the future. It seems to be a process on planet earth that proceeds at a predictable rate.

From what I understand of Heaven, time does not exist and the Celestials and God can see the past, present and future all at the same time. That's how they can warn of danger.

I do know that the de ja vu thing is when your thought adjustor (God Fragment) goes off into the future of the human. When you finally catch up to it, it's like you've already lived it. I understand all humans and their adjustors do this.

People who don't believe in such things can go on not believing. I don't experience premonitions every day, but then again, I don't see a tornado or gila monster in my yard every day, either. I don't doubt the experiences that I have had, and feel no particular obligation to prove them to the skeptics. Some of the nay sayers are so narrow minded that no amount of iron clad proof will convince them. Why waste time ?

Somebody told me I would see a pigeon and that Osama Bin laden would be dead almost a month ago. Precognition is always assumed right by some until it's wrong.

Such would involve a perfectly linear time philosophy, ie time marches ever onward without deviation.

Not everyone buys into that theory.

I'm always open to iron clad proof so if you have any please present it. What I would consider to be convincing evidence would be someone who has a documented history of publicly making very specific claims about an event that will happen in the future. Something vague like "a plane is going to crash" is not good enough because planes do crash. Details such as the flight number of the aircraft, the airport that the plane departed from as well as it's destination and the time and location of the crash would definitely get people's attention if it actually happened and there was clear documentation that this premonition was presented on video before the crash occurred.
If anyone really had this ability why wouldn't they use it to try to help people? Accidents, abductions, crimes and all sorts of trajedies could be avoided if someone with this ability notified the authorities before it happened. The reason you never hear about this happening is because no one really has this ability to begin with.
