that's right. I'd like to see an actual astrological prediction that is so specific that it can actually be tested. I doubt that any real-world astrologer would be as specific as in the experiment that Shane proposes. I'd bet if they were forced to make a very specific kind of prediction (death vs. lottery winning), the astrologers would be wrong as often as right (just like a flipped coin lands on heads half the time).
WOW, WHAT AN INTERESTING QUESTION. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list pen-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
