Astrology is scientific theory, courtroom told
The future of this country does not look good, given this kind of mindless rhetoric going around. As if it wasn´t bad enough already.

--------


Astrology would be considered a scientific theory if judged by the same criteria used by a well-known advocate of Intelligent Design to justify his claim that ID is science, a landmark US trial heard on Tuesday.

Astrology is not a science because it is not intersubjective. Period.

Anyone who does not believe the relative position of the planets does not effect the lives of us here on Earth is a fool and has not been paying attention.
The moon for instance has long known to have a profound physiological and mental effect on humans and many other species.
Then again, anyone who believe specific events can be predicted for specific individuals based on how these planets were arrainged when they were born is ALSO A FOOL.

Astrology is a false science designed to exploit the gullible, and like PT Barnum once said, "there´s a sucker born every minute".

I think he´s wrong, I think there´s a sucker born a helluva lot more often that that!

But then the population is much higher now, and more dumbed down.

Astrology is a far more valid science than "quantum physics" or "relativity" because there is at least some corroberating evidence to support the validity of it, whereas the two above mentioned theories have no grounding in REAL science. This is what I call "grant science".

To repeat myself, it will not be long until public school students are taught ID as a science. The only students learning real science, mathematics, chemistry and physics will be the children of the wealthy who can afford to send their kids to private schools. The rest will be mindless religious fanatical dumbed-down drones.

That is what I´m thinking for my kids...private schools, or for that matter, home-schooling.
The system has been getting worse for decades even before this latest ID crap.

"Astrology is a far more valid science than ´quantum physics´ or ´relativity´ because there is at least some corroberating evidence to support the validity of it,"

1) There is no statistics showing Astrology´s efficacy.

2) "quantum physics" or "relativity" are both described in a common language so anyone can have access to the knowledge.
