EastHastings Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 either way, that unnecessary (but insightful) expansion on the subject of astrology gave it no validation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the.crooked Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 "I don't see why it is so hard to acknowledge the validity of astrology when it is the forefather of astronomy" and alchemy played a large part in bringing about modern chemistry, but is it valid? no. just because an idea beget another idea does not make it so. how you believe this is beyond me.

Spitfire15 Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 "I don't see why it is so hard to acknowledge the validity of astrology when it is the forefather of astronomy" Wow. Astronomy is an actual science. Astrology is bullshit. If you think the 2 are alike you need to hang yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustofills Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Just trolling threw. Iv been popping into this thread for a while every now and then. So I really havent been following it in detail. Just asking this as its something I tend to find myself thinking about. Does anyone think that its posable that the human species / race is actually some sort of life derivative brought to earth by some other means then simply evolving from pimates? In short im asking. Do you think Humans are here, where we are today, because of evolution alone? Or do you think something else? Say perhaps any type of alien influence ranging from something as minor as a bacteria being introduced to are planets environments? Or perhaps something as extreme as the plain of thought that are entire being of what we are today was brought to us from and becuase of another race giving or using us some sort of evolutionary boost with say, maybe some type of DNA research or testing? As there is still seemingly a missing link in the studys of evolution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the.crooked Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 tellurian- there is absolutely no way we are going to agree. a defense of alchemy should be more than an example of why we won't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russell jones Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 tellurian, seriously, read this. http://www.scientificexploration.org/journal/jse_04_1_mcgrew.pdf It would be very easy to find dozens of studies like this. BTW, the protocol for the study was fully approved by the astrologers themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

russell jones Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Astrology only deals with tendencies and influences, trying to coax hard facts from it is counterintuitive. These planetary influences do not determine actual personality. It is just influences. Free will has the ultimate say on personality, not positions of planets. Any good astrologer will tell you that. The inconclusive quote refers to a previous study. Perhaps you should read more carefully. You seem to be saying that Astrology has little use. Am I reading you wrong?

the.crooked Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 ha. this whole conversation is absurd. one day i'm gonna get mams, cracked ass or symbols to let me start a thread that only certain people can go into. make a small entrance survey. do you believe in alchemy? yes....hey...where'd the thread go?

stopdeletingmyaccountoner Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 i dont believe in astrology. but i also wonder if reality is what our senses perceive, and what consciousness really means, and whethere or not we have free will. i could dwell on this stuff and not find a conclusive answer and go crazy with insomnia, or i could play fallout 3 and drink gin.

JUST THE TIP Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 a historically inaccurate and utterly nonsensical argument that is followed up with a condescending line. ut oh, hes bringin out the big guns tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the.crooked Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 It's not that I hate metaphysics. Quite to the contrary, it's a large part of what I studied. It's more so I have a disdain for people that appropriate historically meaningful words for absurd and baseless beliefs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the.crooked Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 mostly a joke, but yeah, honestly, i would prefer some people stay out of certain threads sometimes. not to sound like a fascist prick, but mostly the inundation of absurdest and incorrect information by certain people becomes stifling to those of us that want to hold an intelligible and factually based discussion of various topics. if anything YOU'RE the fascist. /notseriousoncallingyouafascist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUST THE TIP Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 tellurian, from what ive read, the babylonians created astrology, which is quite some time after the hunter/gatherer phase of human evolution. thats what i was talking about in regards to historical inaccuracy.
