dawkins have no formal training in astology,yet he gives opinion in that field. well that is of course an opinion.

@freedomofthought100 I'm sorry, you don't get training in bullshit to debunk bullshit. That's like proving the bible is true using the bible. We use science to test things, it's done wonders for humanity.

The Moon has the power in space to control the earths oceans,tides, fact.Man's body, is 65% to 90% water.Human's are too, an ocean in containers/bodies.At a full moon,the female cycle changes,crime and murder goes up,fact.The point is we are influenced by a satilite.So,MAYBE alignment of planets in our system have and effect,that we don;t know about,would be something New to Blame for Sh!t.And the Stars,well that's "fringe"man.But why not? Just another thing not to understand.

[urantivirus]

@billy1212ist The whole thing about the moon affecting us is nothing but a myth. It does affect the oceans, but we're way too small and self contained for it to affect us. So all that stuff you said, isn't fact. Look it up.

[billy1212ist]

@urantivirus * Stuff? So you call it "stuff "? A Myth?You really are something.Watch Jay Leno,asking people questions as he walks,you will see how DUMB most people really are.Not just uneducated,but DUMB,,,amazing !...I'll try slowly for you OK ? A swimming pool is a body of water,yes?Now DRAIN the pool and fill thousands of quart containers with water,stacking them in the pool,until FULL,of water in containers,same amount.Mankind is an ocean in containers,crime goes up with the full moon,FACT.

[urantivirus]

@billy1212ist Right over your head.

Read my comment again and go look up the science and actual stats behind what I said, you superstitious fucking idiot. lol

And nice source, Jay Leno. Fuck you're dumb.

I once knew a middle aged lady who claimed to be a medium. But she looked more like an extra-large!

@freedomofthought100 Thinking in what way? In a logical mind frame? Please explain how astrology is NOT bullshit.

[TrueMetis]

@freedomofthought100 Ophiuchus, because stars and constellations move when the zodiac was created the constellations were in different positions.

[freedomofthought100]

@TrueMetis

what is the 13th zodiac?

[TrueMetis]

@freedomofthought100 You got it backwards it's 13 instead of 12. And since astrology uses the zodiacs to make predictions if it is wrong about the zodiacs the predictions cannot be right.

[freedomofthought100]

@jonahtran1

actually you got used to think that way. you have no reason to believe that astrology is bullshit.

[freedomofthought100]

@TrueMetis

12 instead of 13 zodiac. so what? that won't make astrology a bullshit.

[jonahtran1]

@freedomofthought100 It's funny how you actually think this astrology nonsense is a science. it's clearly bullshit.

[rickysims212]

@billy1212ist Please show me the link that proves that crime goes up during a full moon.

[TrueMetis]

@freedomofthought100 Actually you don't need to be trained in music or medical science to criticize it. Though it would help in medical sciences case because of the science bit. The only thing you need to know about astrology to call it bullshit is that there are 13 zodiacs not 12.

[TrueMetis]

@billy1212ist You know what has just as much of an effect on you gravity wise as the moon? Your fucking pillow. Yet the way you sleep doesn't seem to effect this shit at all.
