what a load of crap Ahayes- Astrology had NO bearing on the scientific evidence presented and you know it- Making such a statement as you did is yet another biased blatant lie meant to mislead others- When the accusation that ID wasn’t falsifiable was put forth, Behe gave several examples- several SCIETIFIC examples of how it IS falsifiable, Yet the judge COMPLETELY IGNORED the FACTS and ruled against ID being science!

If you have something intellecutally honest to bring to the discussion then do so- otherwise, leave the misrepresentations out of this discussion!

Take it up with Behe, CottShop. He testified in court under oath that astrology is as much science as intelligent design. From the Dover transcripts:
Q And using your definition, intelligent design is a scientific theory, correct?

A Yes.

Q Under that same definition astrology is a scientific theory under your definition, correct?

A Under my definition, a scientific theory is a proposed explanation which focuses or points to physical, observable data and logical inferences. There are many things throughout the history of science which we now think to be incorrect which nonetheless would fit that -- which would fit that definition. Yes, astrology is in fact one, and so is the ether theory of the propagation of light, and many other -- many other theories as well.

(Bolding mine.)

Can you list some? I'd like to see them, at least the ones that aren't based on 'it's too complicated so it was designed.' That's not testable. It's scientific surrender.
