Response to Hi. I'm Bob Marks and I am a professional astrologer.

 
Hi Bob Marks, nice to get to know you!

You have asked 3 questions

1)Is there some sort of "astrological force" that makes it work? If not, the party's over. No further work or tests are necessary. If the answer to (1) is yes, then...

2)Do the rules of astrology work? And...

3)Can astrologers use these rules to make verifiable statements?



Lets assume for a moment that this force exists for real. Now, there is this force that is capable of influencing 60 people out of 6 billion to become murderers. That is one in 100 million, the probability to be effected by this force would therefore be less than winning 1 million dollars in lottery where if I am not wrong the probability is 1 in 14 million.

Do you see where I am coming from? How powerful and relevant is a "force" that is capable of so little?

Few days ago I was watching Bloomberg TV, economic TV and they interviewed the stock market astrologer. The stock market astrologer was explain the horoscope meaning for different companies and which stocks are going to go up… … … the moderator asked the stock market astrologer why he does not buy stocks himself if his predictions are right. The stock market Astrologer replied with a smile on his face that he does.

If you believe that astrology works, why not post for one year at all skeptic message boards for all the skeptics to see the stocks that one should buy according to this "astrological force" and if it works for real that the "astrological force" stocks were outperforming by far the average Dow Jones index, you would convince most skeptics that astrology works. And most definitely you would find many customers
