Believing in incorrect theories in the absence of enough evidence is one thing-- cointinuing to believe in faulty theories even in the face of knowledge is a world of difference. 15th century astrologers I have no problem with. 21st century astrologers get nothing but the deepest scorn and contempt from me. Let me be even more blunt-- anyone in any modern, industrial country with access to a decent education who believes in astrology is a f*****g nitwit. (I could say similar things about another of your examples, but don't want to open THAT can of worms). >Or did the IAU in their "in-your-face" wisdom just outlaw astrologers, >too? If they do, I'll chip in for some barbed wire to go around the internment center. ______________________________________________ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
