In many regards astrology is astronomy
Sure, if you want to know the phases of Jupiter, a good astrologer will be able to tell you..
It's the moment after, when they then tell you how the phases of Jupiter will impact on your chances of picking up on the weekend, you know it's bull..
They are Bonkers, no matter how accurate their moon charts are..
Just as chemistry is alchemy
Much of the things discovered by alchemists was the beginning of chemistry.. But to be an alchemist post enlightenment is also Bonkers.. There is no Elixir, and Gold cannot be derived from Lead.. I guess that all sounds logical to somebody who believes the Queen is a Lizard..

Barn, fark man, you always have to jump up my ass every time I venture outside your little tunnel.
My little tunnel of
rational skepticism (as opposed to your variety of CO2 skepticism)
It's very easy to just say everything is bull, cos we don't understand it and it doesn't fit our world belief.
Without being open to ideas you'll have a hard time being innovative.
I don't need to be open to these ideas AFTER they have been disproved a million times..
I don't say everything is 'Bull', but if you stand up and say the Queen is an Alien, Homeopathy works, Ghosts and the Afterlife are real, without providing any credible evidence then
I will call BULL...
Think more critically, don't balance your thinking with stupidity..
That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.- Hitchens
