How is a prophecy claim different from an empirical risk assessment?
Answer first
Direct answer
A prophecy claim interprets a religious text or tradition in relation to events. An empirical risk assessment estimates hazards using defined evidence, models, assumptions, timeframes, and uncertainty. The two can influence public language, but they require different methods and should not borrow authority from one another.
