Posted: 09 Feb 2010, 22:43
Astrology does have established guidelines, but it is entirely based on subjective interpretation.
IT'S AN ART FORM!
So skeptics .. let's debunk some art.
Picasso:
Many people like and understand Picasso's work, and many people do not.
When asked what was the meaning of the famous Picasso mural 'Guernica' was, 30 test subjects responded with 30 different answers. Similarities occurred within the answers, but not enough to be definitive.
This proves that Picasso's work isn't science but superstition.
Picasso = Debunked!
Mozart:
In lab tests, group subjects listened to works of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. These selections were randomly mixed with equal amounts music by George Frideric Handel.
After each random selection, subjects were asked to write down who they thought composed the work.
Due to his name recognition and general style:
84% of the music was attributed to Mozart.
17% of the music heard was attributed to Handel or other composer.
9% unknown.
Mozart's genius is mostly due to the placebo effect.
Mozart = Placebo
Woo-hoo .. Science Rulez!
PS: Whether these test actually occurred or not is a matter of personal interpretation.
