Astrology – Is at an illogical science

[CROFTS41]

Should anyone believe in something as patently bizarre as India Astrologers? Probably for reasons alike to those of persons who consider such patent absurdity as transubstantiation or their own "personal rescuer." One particularly worrying feature of the faith in this illogical science is that most astrological believers do not use rational (logical) reasoning.

Their "interpretation" is that of a stubborn child. So, they assume (probably instinctively) a absolutely fraudulent academic outlook, clinging stubbornly to anything which seems to verify their principle, while ignoring the embarrassment of tiresome facts which call it into doubt. The pitiable clamoring about Gauquelin’s since disproven "Mars effect" while other alike studies indicated that no such effect existed, and the above listed objections to astrology remains unanswered.

The typical reply of astrologers to this is childish, and evades the query regarding their own dishonesty by implying that cynics also ignore inconvenient facts. Unfortunately for the astrologers, that does not materialize to be the case. A study of information assessment concluded that cynics are "fact oriented," while astrological are believers of "theory driven": Cynics paid close notice to the information they gathered.
