Thank you Adiemus,
Agree 100 %.
I believe in Astronomy and Astrophysics but Astrology no.In India people consult with their astrologer for every occasion, Birth-Marriage even going for job interview. I have many reasons why I dont believe in Astrology . But why do so many intelligent people believe in Astrology ?
Well its human nature to believe that they have some special knowledge which would allow them to control their own destiny by seeing what potentially lies ahead. They want to avert danger, take advantage of good opportunities, etc etc.
For others there is deep seeded concern in the back of their minds about who really controls their destiny because they don't really feel that they do.
And thats about it, why people believe in things that do not exist.
People also believe in - Fairies , Colourology , Demon ,Hell, and hilariously INTELLIGENT DESIGN (Although thats only the hardcore Christians from Trans Atlantic)
Regards to everybody.
