No man knows the day nor the hour. Most prophecies are self fulfilling prophecies. If you don't like them, then don't fulfill them. One cannot simultaneously believe in free will and inevitable fate. Determinism is the darkest religion of them all. It requires a great deal of faith to believe in a deterministic universe for the simple fact that quanta are 1, 0, and 1/0.
