I once passed a nice test in a Psychology course. I had to fill a questioneire (sp?) rating the relevance of all kinds of statements to my personality. Two weeks later, I recieved a preofessional psychological analysis, and was asked to rate the relevance of its statements to my personality. More than 80% of the statements in that analysis matched my character, some strikingly revealing things I didn't expect to be deducable from that lousy form I've sent.
Then I revealed the whole class has recieved the very same personal analysis, which mostly matched everyone's type. Those statements were clipped out of weekly Astrological reports in the papers, and indeed were phrased in such a manner that they would match everyone.

You can try it at home - Rate from 1-5 the relevance of every statement, from every horoscope in any of the papers. It would much by more than 50%, that's for sure.

Needless to say, Astrology is plain bullshit not only because it lacks any scientific basis or consistency, but because it's utterly nonrefutable.

Laws are consistent. They have their definite conditions in which they are valid, and definite observations can prove them wrong.

Astrology is inconsistent etc. Thus Astrology does not follow any possible law. QED.

As for that prior discussion, you were already explained why these forces or laws have practically no where to hide, or else you'd have to be more specific in your suggestion of their existence. As for God, as a metaphysical entity, it's not about to be revealed, or else it's not God but some other physical entity.

Religious priests are consistent (or atleast can be consistent), whereas professional Astrologists can be sued for fraud if once taken seriously.
