Probably never, Pierce.

Re: Is astrology a science or divination ?
Well I consider it to be divination, with self justification (it has some link to Hindu mythologies): When God started creating humans, they were identical, and they were dying. So God introduced two things - sex for reproduction and influence of planets for differentiation.

However, that belief does not stop me from treating it as pseudoscience or science. Key thing here is to understand better the differentiation algorithms.

and this thread:

...those that took an interest have said to a man/woman that they "can see 'it' "...as to what I've got so far. Most of them are 'tinkering' with it presently.
Stay tuned!

Science isn't about proving anything. It's about understanding.. Anything that is proven can be proven false as history has shown.

Re: Is astrology a science or divination ?
What I DO know, is that astrology is NOT a science, in any way shape or form.

If you think otherwise, then you seriously do not understand what science is.

I'm working on a PhD in chemistry, so I can say this with some pretty strong authority.
