In one category, we have the deeply entrenched opinions of rationalists and scientists. Their views are the easiest to predict as there has been no change in them during past 300 years.

These scientists and rationalists can be called the hard-liners obstructing the progress of astrology. Barring a few, they answer everything to do with astrology in stereotyped statements “Astrology has no scientific foundation for its tenets.”  “ It is an ancient superstition that survives only in the minds of gullible people who lack any knowledge of scientific methods”. They denounce everything to do with astrology as fraud. Their assessment is an inherited one. It is a prejudiced one. It was perhaps shaped by revolutionary changes that the industrial revolution brought in mindsets. Religious considerations, snobbery, imperialism, were the other offshoots of  these changes that influenced their attitude towards astrology and of course the bias against astrology, inherent in English thought also had a role to play.

Apart from this category of hard-liners, we have the second category of moderates who are agnostic-they judge astrology to be valid if predictions they are given come true. Equally, they turn critical when they come across a fraudulent astrologer or a wrong prediction.

A third category is of those with a  blind faith in astrology, they are convinced that astrology always work. When the predictions go wrong it is either due to a wrong birth details provided or  a casual analysis by the astrologer.

Dear Chandubai

It is good article. It should be appreciated that any subject in this world is prone to criticism. Scientist are also not above board. Even scientist are questionable and their inference are many a times disputed. According to me what is created by Human is always questionable, What is created by GOD is unquestionable.

Scientist may pat their back and say they have cloned a sheep or goat or even a human being. They can at the best clone , but they have not given the life to it and  it is not the same sheep that was born earlier

What another Human does, can be redone or imitated or done in the same way by another person. But what is created or done by God can never be done by anyone in this world. Godmen can bring swiss watch from nowhere, but it cannot be same swiss watch that was created at the factory in swizterland. That is the truth. God is supreme

Again to extend further, few months the european did a test on massive collision to determine what will happen if two atomic particles collide with huge bang to determine how the universe was formed. The scientist did fail. Now they are talking of big Solar flares approaching the earth in 2012. If at all it happens, can they prevent it from hitting the earth. IT is all God's creation. If an event has to happen it will happen, no matter one can take efforts. The critics of any subject do not understand that. Can NASA give a concrete evidence without any dispute, that 2012 solar flares is going to disastrous and is likely to happen on a predetermined date. Certainly the answer is BIG NO

Yes.  It is True GOD is  the Supreme being.  No doubt about this. Nice article  dear Chandru and nice messages dear Dhan ji.  Thanks to U both .

         Science or Superstition? It is a very......... long............ never ending topic of Debate. Every Individual ,  at a given stipulated time will  realize  the existence of GOD .That is  for  certain. Days are  not very  far away,  a greater evolution in the Mankind is going to happen   very soon .  One fine morning  there we will be  no non believers . I trust in this as I trust GOD ever. .  Thanks

Regards,

Dear Govardhan Ji,

I completely agree and echo the same views as you

Regards

ChanDubai
