I have read a lot about Nostradamus and his predictions, however, I'm not able to come to a conclusion on whether or not his predictions have proven to be reliable. If any of his predictions have come true, then what historical events can be connected to them?

I think this could be better answered on skeptics.se. – T.E.D.♦ Oct 16 '12 at 12:57

He made a million fuzzy predictions without any dates. And when anything happends that remotely resembles any of his million scenarios some people call that being correct. But in order to be able to be wrong or right, one must first state exactly which entity one is talking about and give a timeframe. – Hermann Ingjaldsson Dec 8 '12 at 10:09
So no events can be connected to him for he never stated any entities or timeframes. – Hermann Ingjaldsson Dec 8 '12 at 10:11
