Astrology is a form of divination that holds that the stars, the moon, and the planets significantly influence the lives of people on earth. Astrologers claim that the position of these celestial bodies at the time of one's birth shapes his or her personality and future.
Though the roots of astrology can be traced to ancient Babylon, it remains popular. According to a 2012 survey in the United States one third of those surveyed thought that astrology was "sort of scientific" and 10 percent said that it was "very scientific". is it? NO
Why?
-The planets and stars emit no force that could affect humans the way astrologers say they do.
-Often the predictions are so general that they could be applied to anyone
-Astrological calculations today are made according to the ancient belief that the planets revolve around the earth. In fact, the planets revolve around the sun
-Predictions made by different astrologers for the same individual do not match
-Astrology classifies people under one of 12 categories or zodiac signs, according to their date of birth. Because of changes in earth's position in space over the centuries The dates associated with the signs of zodiac no longer correspond to the sun passes through the constellation for which the signs were named.
The zodiac signs are said to give clues to a person's character. In Reality people who have the same birthday do not have the same traits just as in twins; One's birth date reveals nothing about his or her personality. Instead of seeing people as they really are, astrologers judge a person's behavior and character by a set assumptions.
Is this not a form of prejudice?
