Why do people still believe in astrology?

why so serious?

I do believe the alien existence.

I haven't see an alien. Why this only appear in USA?

When? And how? How's it looks like??

Where??

Because it's fake?

Please check the title of this thread again, and you'll know why it's fake.

Why are you so serious about everything bro

Astrology is just for fun only. Ada kena, we share and laugh together with friends.
And if there is anyone believing in astrology too much, then no need to tell them how fake it is, just let them be. Probably their experience had made them believe in astrology.

Geezz you will never be satisfied until u debunk everything huh

Not about satisfaction. It's just common sense to point someone out as wrong when they say 1 + 1 = 3, but when in fact it was supposed to be 2.

Richard Dawkin ought to toke on some DMT and ayahuasca...

terasa lettew.. Its ALL FUN until one day they said they cannot go out yumchar wiv u coz their zodiac said avoid sial people. or perhaps it already happened

Dude, this is not exact. Its not 1+1=2 no matter how sure you are in this type of things. If its exact, how come until now there are still tons of research ongoing for debate in this? Its theoretical, not exact.

Also, what are you satisfied about?
Its not like u made the video, conduct the whole research team for years?
I mean if the guy who came up with this research, I salute them even if I might not share the same belief. I understand how satisfied they are cause this type of research is not easy.

Meaaanwhiillee, u just shared this thing and apparently have the same belief with the author.
I mean, boy do I have belief. I do, but I dont share it too much and condemn people who dont share the same belief as I am.

I'd take back my word if you come back here with your proper research paper of debunking stuff.

Yeahh like I care if they blame astrology to avoid me. Ive gotten even stupidder reasons, dah biasa.
I also got some astrology say Im going to be forever alone, yeah like I care..

its just for fun la bodo
nobody takes astrology religiously
chill ur tits ts

Please read this website: http://www.pathwaytoascension.com/index.html

Also, about 1+1=2.. I can only say that if 1 is ONE and 3 is TWO.. then 1+1=3 will stand, won't it???

simplest debunk by tyson

Why not?

If ppl can believe there is a supreme being that is the creator of this universe, ppl can definitely believe that there is flying spaghetti monster somewhere.

Wat toking u?

Are you claiming that Richard Dawkins was wrong about astrology? If so, which research that has proven that astrology, is in fact, a reality?

And I've already mentioned in my previous post that it is not about satisfaction.

no. i believe at money.

Interesting. May I ask how different it is between "newspaper astrology" and "1700 astrology"?

In addition, may I kindly ask what is the evidence that astrology is actually consistent with reality?

Im not saying he is right/wrong, Im saying he could be right or wrong, just like everything else, why u gotta be so proud to have a different belief and shove it into ppl's face? That makes u super annoying, man...
Yes u did! U said its about satisfaction. U said it in your reply to my comment.

U think I believe in astrology? I dont, but I dont go around and show people "how smart I am in believing astrology and watch a random youtube video by a renowned white man". Do you even know that some nobel peace prize achievers are the man behind mass murder?

Humans will never be 100% right about anything. Therefore, dont be so annoying to show people how u know stuff bt u actually just scratched the surface (by watching a youtube video,duh!)

astrology got religion ? first time dengar.

wwf fans also know wrestling is fake but they stil watch it, so? itu pun nak debunk ke?

Everything is real as long as you believe in it

too much of enything isnt gewd for you.
that includes religion

Same thing as work hard gain more.
Why do people still believe it

ts next thread

Music debunked, why people still believe in music ?
Art debunked, why people still believe in Art?

No, check my previous post again, I did not say it's about satisfaction. If I did, you can paste my quote directly as proof.

We might not be 100% right, but it is already an established consensus that astrology lacks the evidence to be a reliable tool in terms of its effectiveness to "guide people's lives".

Like I have asked previously, what exactly is different about "newspaper clipping astrology" as opposed to "other types of astrology" that actually proves the existence of astrology, and thus, renders the debunking completely invalid?

Dawkins need not perform a more rigorous experiment on astrology because, in addition to the Youtube video, astrology has already been largely debunked by science as pseudoscience.

Personality and Individual Differences. 40 (7): 1349–1362. doi:10.1016/j.paid.2005.11.017. To optimise the chances of finding even remote relationships between date of birth and individual differences in personality and intelligence we further applied two different strategies. The first one was based on the common chronological concept of time (e.g. month of birth and season of birth). The second strategy was based on the (pseudo-scientific) concept of astrology (e.g. Sun Signs, The Elements, and astrological gender), as discussed in the book Astrology: Science or superstition? by Eysenck and Nias (1982).

Do you seriously think astrology is, in fact, realistic? If so, what is your proof?

It's is not "scratching the surface" when there are scientific testing of astrology has been conducted, and with no evidence has been found to support any of the premises or purported effects outlined in astrological traditions.

Read my post again. I have actually provided the sources of how astrology has been largely debunked as pseudoscience.

Here's my reply to your post:
