for example:
Nostradamus wrote
Century 2, Quatrain #28
"The last son of the man with the prophet's name will bring Diana to her day of rest.
If you accept that this refers to Dodi ElFayed and Diana death, this statement must come from God to predict such event, even if Nostradamus himself was a liar/mistaken in many occasions.
Well, first off, the original text of Nostradamus' quatrain refers to "Diane" with an 'e' on the end, not "Diana," which was princess Diana's given name.
So in addition to other problems (such as the prophet's name being very common and the dangling participle 'repos'), you've altered the text to make it fit the facts.
Quote:Le penultiesme du surnom du Prophete,
Prendra Diane pour son iour & repos:
Loing vaguera par frenetique teste,
En deliurant vn grand peuple d'impos.
The penultimate of the surname of the Prophet
Will take Diane for his day and rest:
He will wander far because of a frantic head,
And delivering a great people from subjection.
(ETA: A website I was reading pointed out that a reasonable interpretation of the reference to 'du surnom du Prophete' would be to Nostradamus' own surname, seeing as these are his prophesies. Is Mohammed actually the prophet of Islam's surname?)
