Astrology debunked? Hardly. Biological clocks of all earthly animals are in synch with planetary lunar magnetic fields which are dictated by the energy of celestial mechanics.

@DuctapePenguin That's fascinating. Can you please provide a link or give details for your claims? It'd be interesting to know where you are getting your evidence from, and who conducted the research that proves that: "...earthly animals are in synch with planetary lunar magnetic fields which are dictated by the energy of celestial mechanics." If you're correct, this is groundbreaking science; I cannot believe I missed it!

Glad to see you understood that my comment was a re-iteration of your own assertion.

Meaning, of course, that I insulted nobody - you insulted yourself !

And I agree wholeheartedly with you - you are an idiot.

Permit me to add a compliment - you are a magnificent idiot.

And, dare I ask - what "belief" did I express that you refer to ?

Hmmmm... now there's a conundrum.

@tellnet hey everybody look, we have a student of bill o'reilly in the house. hi tellnet, your insult doesnt serve as an argument for your belief. You have contributed nothing to the thread sooooo thanks... for nothing

@jordanmarcus

You are absolutely right.

You are unambiguously correct.

You are incontrovertibly accurate.

@DuctapePenguin You understand 0 of what your saying. Go find a hole for you to bury yourself alive. Tyvm

@asfan89 that comment just made my day!

[asfan89]

when I see the comment about "...with planetary lunar magnetic fields which are dictated by the energy of celestial mechanics." , I can only see 1 word=lunatics.

LUNAr+magneTIC, You guys see that?

@jordanmarcus Mainstream science actually helps our species develop and learn new things. What has pseudo-sciences and religions helped us with? Absolutely nothing.

[CRISNCHIPS12398]

@DuctapePenguin Stop spouting off your ridiculous claims. Your comment is just laughable, almost embarrassing to read even.

[jordanmarcus]

I think its funny how mainstream science has as many dogmas as religion. They think that If you believe in anything other than what mainstream science has to offer, well then your an idiot. Astrology has plenty to offer us, with records and observations dating back to ancient times. far more documents than what modern science offers. Of course science is great, but dam its not a religion ppl
