Completely irrelevant.

We know humans are capable of random thoughts.
Isn't evidence for prophetic powers though,

I believe this is a strawman, never claimed prophetic powers. Please show me where I did that?

Again this is completely irrelevant with regards to whether you have prophetic powers or not.

And again, until you do, you have no rational basis to assume predictive powers.

It is not about me, it is about human beings, I am making a hypothesis that can be tested and checked out that perhaps human beings can pick up scents of others(or not picking up others scents) unconsciously and realize the possibility of someone approaching or not.
