Astrologists use their knowledge of the relative positions of celestial bodies and related details to understand, interpret, and organize information about personality, human affairs, and other terrestrial matters. A practitioner of astrology is called an astrologer.
Astrology is often considered as pseudoscience by scientists, as it does not make its predictions via scientific means. Following the science methodologies adopted by Creation science, many astrologers consider themselves to be using scientific methods to show that such scientific evidence is consistent with their understanding and interpretation of the heavens and its effect on human affairs[1].
The Bible[2] makes many references to astrology:
- And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; (Luke 21:25)
- The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, (Psalm 19:1-4)
