Chess and Astrology

Marvellosity makes perfect sense.  He makes no claim to have faith even in logic.  Faith is for...(find a nice alliterative word here).

 The biggest problem I have with astrology is that the planetary configurations have changed but the characteristics of the zodiac have not. Due to the precession of the planets the zodiac is off by one whole sign. For example, I was born on July 9th, which makes me a Cancer. However, the day I was born the sun was actually in Gemini.

 Personal characteristics were developed based on which sign the sun was in at birth. The sun's position in the zodiac no longer matches the position for which the characteristics were developed. Therefore, either astrology is meaningless or astrologers have it all wrong.

I also can't disprove the notion that there are invisible fairies dancing underneath my chair plotting global domination by 2020. But, to all intents and purposes, I can continue my existence under the presumption that this isn't the case, unless shown evidence to the contrary.

How is one supposed to disprove a negative? The burden of proof is on someone stressing a positive (i.e. this thing exists, this situation is the case, etc.).

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic, but you don't need faith in logic, because logic is demonstrable. One thing leads to another in a manifest way.

 Fine, but that's not logic. There is no logic proof showing that things are false unless proven true. You have faith that things that have not been proven are false. But just because something hasn't been proven to be true doesn't mean it isn't true.

A classic example is "all swans are white." If you look at old European texts on predicate logic, this is sometimes given as an example of a true statement. The thing is, some swans are black. But those swans exist in Australia, which was unknown to the early European authors of those texts. Those Europeans had no evidence that black swans existed, so by your reasoning they had hard logical grounds for believing that they didn't. But they did exist.

As to the burden of proof, I'm not stressing either way on the existence of God. You're deciding what to believe. Personally, if I don't have any evidence for something's existence, I believe that I don't know whether it's true or false. YMMV.

if you new astrology you wouldn't say such things, but since you clearly lack knowledge i will take it upon me self to show you a thing or 2.

with twins you should remember that when born under certain stars even a slight time difference e.g. seconds, can produce magnanimous variations in character/ personality e.g. taurus.

your destinies are never the same just because you were born under the same stars, that is a blatant-shameless lie, or else all the dictators of the world  would have been born under the same star. you can however possess similar personality traits.

why don't you go tarot reading my freind and then try to come back and talk about astrology.
