Q:

Astrology claims that a person’s personality talents, daily activities, mate choice, and many other of aspects his or her life are associated with his or her birthday. This influence is supposedly due to positions of the sun, moon, and planets against the background of the visual star patterns (constellations) at the time and place of birth, and some mysterious force or influence between them. Those "positions" are their locations in the sky relative to one of twelve constellations arrayed along the ecliptic throughout the year. Those twelve constellations are designated as the signs of the Zodiac. Many followers of astrology have claimed it as a science, yet, for several reasons, it is best termed a pseudoscience.

Primary Task Response: Within the Discussion Board area, write 400–500 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas:

  • Why would the positions of celestial objects at the moment of our birth have an effect on our characters, lives, or destinies?
  • Summarize the scientific method and it's importance to invention and innovation. How does astrology fail to conform to the scientific method?
  • In light of your research on astrology on this topic, how would you interpret this line from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar (1599): "The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, But in ourselves...'' (Act 1, Scene 2).

MUST BE ORIGINAL!!!

Positive results tell us we are on the right track, negative results tell us where to turn next to look for the correct answers. This is how we advance science. We test our hypotheses, our educated guesses, and find out what works in real life. This allows us to find what drugs actually cure diseases instead of believing in blood letting, since a good drug would give positive results to people with a disease, while blood letting would give negative results. Astrology doesn't give us either, though. The results are all over the place because it is a bunch of random guesses, which invariably are sometimes right and sometimes wrong. Often it is so vague that it could be interpreted to be correct without any real answers at all. A huge scale study of children born within minutes of each other at the same hospitals showed that, unlike astrological predictions, these children were no more similar th ...
