Holding a meeting for pro and even otherwise should not pose a problem.Settling controversies through debates after arguments is also science.
No experiment is reproducible. My 10th class science teacher told bullshit while responsing to a mythological statement saying about a day of Brahma is equivalent to …..so many years on earth. Now we know what an intelligent statement it was in the light of theory of relativity. It is true that the Astrology has lost its importance, not because it is pseudo science but because it is being told by several pseudo practitioners. In order to discuss whether this is a science or not… Alas? What would have been the best place than IISc. Probability is mathematics..and Certainly quantum mechanics….is the future… even Einstein did not have belief in certain quantum mechanical theories. People used to have the same opinion about the Yoga also. If it is properly practiced, discussed, and presented in journals…. India has yet another field to offer to the world community.

Let Astrology remain away from science. If it’s not having scientific base it’s okay. But Astrology unfolds many mysteries
of human lives with help of placement of planets in an individual’s
horoscope. It’s miraculous branch of occult knowledge.
let them explain the origin,base,basis,fats and application of astrology,
and then. …individual shall analyse if he/she agrees up to some extent,if not…..
tell everybody is no good then probability concept.
what i mean is…atleast we’ll come up with …a true decision .
IISC should come forward to prove the ancient science
Astrology has been around in our country for couple of 1000 years but lost its true source and connections. Unless it is discussed openly, more people getting involved, more research done, more patterns identified, we should not close the doors or be an hinderance to any concept.
Is Einstein quantum theory or Stephen Hawkings theories still not questionable (which are based on certain assumptions), has anyone seen the Big bang happening with his own eyes. These concepts are still evolving as they are discussed openly and more people getting involved.
What happened at IISC is corollary to when the first person said that earth is round not flat, and sun is the centre of universe not earth ?
I guess earth is still flat and appears as centre of our Universe.
This is the age debiliations and pure & divine science like astrology needs brave hearts to rescue!
Were they afraid?
If not, this platform should have been given, at least to prove that this is not a science.
They can talk about what they have in their physical experience.
It takes just a minute to realise the truth. Let that moment arise.
Complete bull shit. Astrology has a complete scientific basis. Ignorant people simply refuse to believe and debate on it.
Faith, trust and belief are personal in character and they must become essential components for meaningful and holistic living. Complexities of modern life look for solutions in an integrated manner. Human knowledge and experience acquired so far are essential components and they should complement and supplement efforts in this direction instead of encouraging conflicting and contradictory thought processes. Hence i believe astrological analytical studies with assistance from science must receive due recognition and assume its rightful place of importance.
I challenge the sceptics to empirically verify the authenticity of astrology. Show me an accurate natal chart & I can predict the inherent traits of the native close to 90%.
