Every time that my friend's mom has had a baby I knew what gender it was going to be . 5 months before her baby brother was born i told her it was a boy and that her mom would name it William , It happen exactly as I said !
 
Let's suppose there are 200 people an Y/A who have friends with pregnant moms, let's suppose that some of them (you decide if it's going to be all of them, half of them...) predict the sex of the baby.

About half of them are going to be correct. You are one of those people.

How to test your ability to predict the future:

Write down forty predictions:

that can be tested within a week (they expire after a week).
Ten that expire in a month
ten that expire in two months,
and ten with specific dates.

What success rate would you expect for a person who can foresee the future, and what would the rate be for a person unable to see the future.

After two months, you will have your score.

I think anything is possible :)

There is no scientific explanation about telling the future with coincidences..
 
Think of it this way. If it's possible to predict the future, that means the future is set and nothing we do can change it. Isn't that kind of depressing? No control over your own life? You were meant to loose that job, fail that test, no amount of work or studying could have changed it.

You had a 50/50 chance of guessing the gender correctly. I'm assuming she hasn't had more than 4 kids that you've been guessing about, especially since you only mentioned one - that's still a 0.5^4 = 6% chance you'd get it right just guessing. That's how people end up thinking they have superpowers - by beating the odds a few times. But they don't. It's called the confirmation effect - you remember when you get it right and forget when you didn't. Not to mention the name part - so much bias there.
 
I can predict the future, and I have been successful many times. I sometimes scare myself with how accurate I am.
