You may as well claim that H.G. Wells was a prophet because of all the futuristic things he for-sore in his novels.
Even then, as dbp said, most of it is so incredibly vague that it only seems to make sense after science has made the claim. This is a book that Nostradamus would have been proud of!
The famous quatrains (spelling?) again, poetic writing that can be made to fit anything with a bit of linguistic wriggling.
The most successfull religions are the vaguest that only make fuzzy predictions.

That was were the mayan religions fell down, they predicted that if you sacrificed so many people the rains would come, they killed the right amount of people, no rain, after a few years of this the religions lost their strangle hold.(or so the theory goes)
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
