Thread Name: BS: zodiac/star signs.. do you believe?
Subject: RE: BS: zodiac/star signs.. do you believe?
We have something that cannot be proved to the satisfaction on the other side ( for want of a better term) either to be real or imaginary)

The Astrologists belive there is a real connection between the astrological chart and a persons life. The Scientists ( again, both names chosed to be fair, in the lack of a better option) belive tyhere is no connection between a persons astrological chart that cannot be explained in terms of interpretaition, co-incidence, and the placebo effect.


The question of faith arises very simply. Do you believe in something witout any proof in it, or in someing with no proof in it, but no positive proof against it?

Unless astrologers start to make claims that can be tested, rather than general statements that can be fitted to anyone with a following wind, this will never, ever be settled.
