Nostradamus: alleged predict the burn of London, the French Revolution, the raise of Napoleon, the WWII and the raise of Hitler, etc.
Edgar Cayce, also alleged predict the 1929 crash in the stock market in the USA, the WWII, etc.
In the Bible, in The Book of Job talks vaguely about the position of the earth in the space, also about radio waves and so forth at least this is the “new reading”.

Not at all, they are absolutely phoney baloney.
I think there are huge amount of Alleged Psychics nowadays and before, all of then try with a lot of predictions, so it’s just a statistical probability than even them would be right in some of them…Even the most famous Psychics in the history use the same method: try again and against be clever enough in his predictions and be vague…
I am not a psychic, but I can try with some prediction right now and it is possible that I will right with them: 1-Biden will die before the next election, 2-In the next 5 years we will have proofs of life in the Universe, 3-Donald Trump will win the next USA election, etc.

I think it is harmful for them, because they can be scammed. They can believe in what these people, in the things the say are saying which is (usually, they say that they use the God’s help in their predictions., etc.), Furthermore, I think they should go to the jail to because deceiving people it is not a minor crime because they are taking advantage of innocent and gullible people.…

Revised version:

I think it is harmful for them because they can be scammed. They can believe in what these people are saying which is usually that they use God’s help in their predictions.  Furthermore, I think they should go to jail because deceiving people is not a minor crime because they are taking advantage of innocent and gullible people.
