Thread Name: BS: zodiac/star signs.. do you believe?
Subject: RE: BS: zodiac/star signs.. do you believe?
That's only if you think there has to BE a burden of proof in the first place, TIA...I don't necessarily see that there does.
There are many wonderful things in life which cannot be proven and never will be, but can only be experienced. In saying that, however, I am neither defending nor attacking astrology. I don't give a dang about astrology one way or another.
The concept of "burden of proof" is one most beloved by sceptics when they can trot it out as an objection to things that can't be proven anyway (or disproven), but which they don't believe in or care for (for their own emotional reasons). It's like a suit of armour. It appears very strong. A suit of armour, however, is of no useful application in a jello wrestling contest.
