Thread Name: BS: zodiac/star signs.. do you believe?
Subject: RE: BS: zodiac/star signs.. do you believe?
This will probably be my last post on this thread, as it got too much into the name calling for me.

Daylia, you keep saying that astrology cannot be proven scientifically. However, when I provide an assertion taken from astrology that could be tested scientifically (and indeed has been with negative results), you merely claim ignorance about whether than assertion is indeed one which astology would claim. Therefore you must also claim ignorance over whether science can be used to test astrology's validity. If you cannot see the logic in that statement, then there is no point in trying to have a logical debate with you.

If your beef is that science cannot "prove" as opposed to provide evidence for or against, then that is also true for anything science might tackle. Are you arguing that no scientific results should be taken into consideration on any subject, merely because they do not provide absolute proof of anything?

"It's been said over and over again on this thread that this subject cannot be "proven" scientifically. YEt people still demand that I "prove" it to them!"

Nobody is demanding that you prove anything. Merely that you provide some scientific evidence in support of it, or at least openmindedly examine the evidence that has been put to you.
