he doesn’t say IS science but that it WAS accounted as science. Astrology WAS thought to be science and not just by the lower-classes. Where today a ruler will have a pollster, a king of the 16th Century would have an astrologer. The belief was that a man’s fate was determined by the stars under which he was born. People are always looking for signs, because life is so uncertain.

Once again one must change the definition of Science to shoehorn Astrology and I.D. and other untestable unknowable forces into it. It cannot be done without losing what makes Science free of religious concerns and accepted worldwide no matter the faith of the Scientist. Chinese Astrology and Western Astrology were not even similar and there is no way to reconcile the two in a independent and scientific manner.
