Astrology vs. Astronomy!
I like both of these "sciences", in this particular blog i will discuss the differences between these two.
On one hand astrology is not considered a science on the basis of a testable mechanism is not found... this testable mechanism which applies to the force planets exert over our lives, is not testable. One argument astrologers give is that this testable mechanism is not yet found, they give a few examples of past scientific proposals which were not found a scientific method explanation... but that these things came later. Another difference is that the events stated by astrologers are not clearly event, that is, no real data is provided over the subjects. Everything in astrology in questionable. Even the claims themselves are questionable. This leads me to say that astrology relies more on belief and it enters the realm of religion.
On the other hand is astronomy which deals with science and reason. It is a study and science of celestial objects, astronomy deals with analazing data and collecting data. Sometimes through physics other times through describing with computer programs and such. So in conclusion pseudo science is one which relies more heavily on belief than in reason.. given in these two clear examples, i have reached the conclusion what makes psuedo science, psuedo.
