On the contrary!

They aren't seeking to discredit astrology, they have discredited astrology.

But then anyone with a RATIONAL MIND BORN IN THE 1900'S did the same thing long ago.

Well, duh.

I cannot believe that some believed in Astrology in the first place.
But then, we have a plenthora of religions on this planet, worshipping old men sitting on some random clouds.

as much as i have against astrology, they kinda forogt to do one thing - find a large random group of people that were born at diffrent times/years and compare their similairites to those who weren't.

Without a comparson if a base case, you really don't have a complete study. Who knows, maybe the way soceity is structured during a certain time period would change behavior as well.. which though it would support astrology , it would actully also help provide some useful data on sociology and the like. Just a thought though.

(Actully, from a scientific standpoint, even if they used a base case and it proved to be true, it wouldn't credit astrology. if a is true and b is true, that doesn't mean a implys b)
