In my line of work predictions go a long way. We are very confident of what we will find underground in relation to coal deposits in the Witbank area. Old earth models and all that. They work. The scientific method works.
We are very confident that volcanic eruptions destroying it all are not very likely to occur on the Kaapvaal Craton either. And the craton won't split apart without fairies dancing on needles doing it. We can confidently predict whats going to be found underground.
We can predict what will be found underground this year and next year and thousands of years into the future. Whether those deposits are economically viable is another story. But, they're still there.

This one was supposed to go into the predictions thread. How it got here I don't know. I must have pressed the wrong button. Sorry Admin.

Would you like to post a copy of your message to the Why do we pay any attention to predictions? thread and have me delete this thread, or would you like me to leave this here?
