I had a link to a site where a professor blows all of Titor's "science" out of the water. Wish I could find it, but the bottom line is people will believe what they want to believe.

Actually, you cannot 'blow Titor's "science" out of the water' because he doesn't explain it in enough detail. And he admitted he's not a scientist so anything 'wrong' about it could just as easily be his own misunderstanding. I don't think you can refute the Titor material based on science. We either need proof of who he was (i.e. a real person living here & how has to be shown to be the hoaxer) or we need to see history go in a completely different direction than he predicted. Right now it looks like his take on history was frighteningly close. The one thing that baffles me is how the EU would send an army against the Russians. Now there's a truly 'off the wall' prediction. Still, if people here in the US start shooting at each other by 2008 I'd be thinking about getting a 1950s style nuclear bunker in the backyard before 2015 arrives... or maybe moving to Australia.
