People don’t just go with it. The research has been done. The empirical evidence has been piling up for decades. It’s all there if you want to check it out for yourself. That’s why people readily accept science. Even tho there aren’t many things in science that can be considered 100% fact because both scientific laws and theories are subject to change in light of new evidence, people will generally agree with it because it’s backed by evidence, the scientific method, and great minds putting their brains in overdrive.

Now people who are “well versed in astrology or zodiac signs” .... THOSE people are the ones just going with something. How you become well versed in bullshit? Where did you do your research? Teen magazine? The s*** isn’t backed by anything credible and is complete nonsense. Anyone can fall victim to it too. Intelligent people believe in astrology the same way there are many intelligent people who believe in God.

The f*** does providing for society have to do with anything?

Can't wait til KanYe sees this post bro. Getting him on the phone rn.

Well, the thing is - Zodiacs/Astrology etc are real, but forbidden in major Abrahamic religions, because it’s considered venturing into the “realm of God”.

We weren’t meant to ascertain our futures using the stars, and the fact that God’s forbidden it further reinforces that it’s real.

But true believers beware, is knowing your future worth your hereafter?

I dont care that much, mostly jokes but the more educated everyone is the better people are in general. Look at the damage misinformation has already done.

Correlation? It's called conspirituality. It's a combination of
Conspiracy theories and the same kind of spirituality bullshit like tarot cards and astrology.

30% of americans believe in astrology. You can roughly say nowadays thats around the same number of conspiracy theorists nowadays. Qanon supporters, climate change deniers. We have some that are even in govt

They're using the same cognitive fallacies, choosing to believe whatever the f*** they want rather than the facts laid out before them.

It is not a stretch at all to assume the same types of people who assume the shape of stars will predict how the rest of their life goes and how they should act will be the same type of person to believe in qanon and all that s***. Its the same mental process.

If anything im just against misinformation and pseudoscience altogether as theyre apart of the same branch.

OP clearly doesnt understand science. Also it is such a broad term. What sciencs are you even talking about? Like chemistry or physics? Then what about social sciences? They clearly dont pretend to be facts for example.

I would rather not read any of the other horseshit you spilled in this thread after that blatant ignorant ass op.

It's clear you shouldnt share your thoughts openly but now i think youre trolling

only theory

You started off great. You get your research like any other research. You study the past

If you’re not gonna read any of what I said and dismiss it as trolling I could care less about your opinion and you can gladly f*** off.

How is this thread open but my thread about nature got locked lmao

Not that I think this should be locked but at least have some consistency...

The fact you equate the “research” behind astrology or religion to scientific research is deeply ignorant. And it’s like, there are occurrences every day that contradict the findings of religion and astrology, it’s just that people make up new excuses all the time or try to find ways to make them more and more broad

In terms of theory backed researchable subjects, science is about the closest thing there is to fact and that’s because the people who study it are actually educated researchers given real funding from highly reputable organizations. Whenever organizational funding has been given to fields like astrology or religion to decide the status quo, it always leads to discrimination or war and that’s because the people who actually believe in that stuff are usually uneducated egomaniacs who recognize the falsehoods of their subject and use it as a power trip

mods like hearing delusional people ramble

We determine what is based in nature and what is man-made by human activity. Our technology is not found naturally. You can determine that the science used to create that technology, however, is natural, because mathematics and scientific phenomenon (but NOT equations, scientific processes, etc.,) are indeed found in nature.

Science is natural, but what we do with science is potentially unnatural.

Anti astrology and anti religion mf are just as corny as the people they clown

OP got humiliated on the first page

Not if they just keep it to themselves and aren't in your face with it

OP had something going for him in the title then he started using it to justify astrology

That’s true with anything

Are they? I didn't know that, was taught that muslim scholars basically invented the zodiac as we know it - not that they came up with the idea for it but they decided which constellations had weight, calculated their paths, etc

nah lol if u the type of ppl that can actually believe astrology then u basically primed to believe whatever other dumb s*** thats out there

That’s ASTRONOMY my g and THAT’s an actual science. It’s the observational study of the physicalities of space & it’s bodies (stars, planets, etc).

ASTROLOGY is assigning zodiac characteristics to those same space bodies & basically creating recommendations based on their trajectories.

I'm on that old school Russian christian gnosticism wave, I believe forgiveness is found by spinning around until you pass out and you will attract demons by eating sumptuous meals
