If you point out someone who thinks Roddenberry was a prophet I'll show you a nut job. The reason that sometimes star trek seems predictive is because gene Roddenberry wanted to show us a world where everyone's right were respected, everyone had a opportunity to be educated and no body went hungry.
That is a world that the better among us work towards everyday, so yes sometimes it appears to coincide with star trek.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
