    The thing i find funny is that when you compare astrology and ID, it is astrology that has more scientific merit as a scientific theory (namely that it is a model based on observed (although subjective) evidence that can be used to make predictions).
    Even though both are stupid.

    it doesnt mean we have free will. if actions/decisions are random, then by the definition of “random” we have no control over them.
    in this case, no determinism, and still no free will.

    Wrong. Newtonian Mechanics is traditionally deterministic. Quantum Mechanics casts a lot of doubt on determinism however.

    Your mastery of the english language and clarity of thinking amazes me. Why say the laws of physics when I can say gods (note the lack of capitalization!) instead? Everyone will understand me right?

    “rime rates rising with full moon (instinctive light stuff)”
    Scientific studies done to isolate this have, however, shown *no* correlation, contrary to the beliefs of those involved. In other words, the Moon’s phase doesn’t seem to have any affect on the number of crimes committed. You’re right about everything else though.

    If you live near a mountain, that mountain will have a bigger gravitational effect on you then Neptune. Astrology= bullshit

    i don’t believe that astro can predict your future, but i sorta believe the personality part, not because i choose to, because i see how it corresponds to people. often, it’s at least 75% true.

    No one said they believe in free will, you are just making assertions, and then you go on babbling about astrology, which is the biggest load of crap. If you honestly believe in that **** then quit talking, because you fail at critical thinking.

    It’s fraud though. You claim to be able to guess something and say “Give me your money and I will read the stars and get it right” and it isn’t. What is that? It’s false advertising and isn’t allowed.

    Matt seems to be ignoring the First Amendment here. Sad as it is, some fortune tellers and astrologers actually believe in this stuff just as much as the people that pay them. He seems to be asking the states to legislate common sense, but we can’t do that because of the Constitution.

    It’s one thing to tell people not to give their hard earned money to televangelists or palm-readers, it’s quite another to pass a law telling people not to.

    It still baffles me why people believe Astrology, much like I do with people who believe clairvoyants; it all boils down to the same thing: Saying things in a way so that people think they’ll apply to them.

    Carl Sagan once said something like ‘The vast majority of newspapers carry a daily column for astrology, yet hardly any have one for astronomy’, that’s just retarded in this day and age.

    Anyway great video, once again.
