... Thaths, aren't you making vague statements based on possibly incorrect assumptions about sensitivity to initial conditions? Whatever happened to our knowledge of nonlinear dynamic systems? :-) Astrology appears ridiculous because of the apparently low number of parameters that can supposedly *decide* one's life... not to say anything of this pesky thing called Free Will. It is just not very intuitive. That much I can readily agree with. But we are nowhere close to a 'proof' against astrology. Statements in support of astrology demonstrate a faith in scriptures/tradition. The statements against astrology I have heard, in this thread and elsewhere, demonstrate ... perhaps a general reluctance to keep an open mind? Hm?
