Actually, any mere mortal can.  All you have to do is to write up enough 
prophecies, couched in vague language, and have access to the texts so if 
need be you can edit the word to suit you.  Stockmarket analysts do 
something similar all the time (except they actually work off genuine hard 
data).

What you have is not evidence.  It is unsupported second-hand hearsay.
