You're not a scientist.

Nor have you provided any evidence to support your arguments.

i added it to make it clear what i was talking about

duhhh

it really isnt my fault if you dont know how to follow a discussion

No, you added it later because you are trolling. You knew what reaction your initial troll post would get.

PS this is what James Randi has to say about the personality profiling used by astrologers:

I have a degree in Physics from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. Good enough for you?
I have read your messages and I can tell you have no idea about the scientific method.
Go to a bookstore and buy Carl Sagan's book- Demon Haunted World, and write again in here only after you have read it.

(who am I kidding, even if he will read it he would not get it).

Don't be biggoted against reality. You just because you can't see it doesn't make it real.

You are a scientist in the same sense that John Morris Pendelton is a scientist.

My girlfriend is a biochemist with Pfizer, specializing in RNA synthesis and gene silencing. I have sex with a scientist.

Your Popeship, I don't suppose you have any proof you're actually a scientist, do you? Yea, I know, us one trick "proof" ponies are at it again.

In regards to astrology, I think some of you fellow skeptics may get a kick out of this thread over at Sociocide, in which a forum member doles out free astrological readings:

a degree in physics will do :-)

I have read a number Dr Sagan's books I'm a big fan although I trhink to start from a point of skepticism has value, I think in some cases it stops the researcher from developing ideas....not always but in some instances

You sound like a creationist, conflating science with belief, and the bible with science. In your case, conflating atrology with astrophysics and homeopathy with medicine. The creationists have a lot of their own physicists and biologists who say the same things you do. People like you make baby jesus cry.


But as a degreed physicist, you can explain the physics behind homeopathy. Care to share? (No, I do not think you are a physicist)

no i'm not a physicist....again you show evidence of not actually reading my posts

i am my training a mechanical and electronic engineer and hold a Masters of Engineering in Mechatronics

i am currently engaged in medical bio-engineering research

my particular fields are cardiac mechanics and bioreactors

it would be helpful if you read my posts rather than reacting like a child

i have never stated that astrology is connected with astronomy

and have explained why i like astology

and i state again i agree with the problems surrounding homeopathy and the fact that mainstreem science cannot accept its existence

i have no idea why it works for some people but it does

could be placebo but this wouldnt explain why it has been reported to work on animals

frankly i dont know

my point (again) is that many many people simply go into knee jerk reactions

when things like astrology and homeopathy are mentioned

there appears to be no reasoning just mud slinging

although to be fair some people here have offered up good solid evidence for there beliefs

others appear to be sad hangers on......

An engineer is not a scientist. An engineer may use technological resources developed by scientists. House DJs do the same thing. Your problem is that in the face of overwhelming evidence against these things, you can not let go of your beliefs in homeopathy, astrology, and whatever other pseudo-scientific belief system you hold on to. There is no support in the scientific community for homeopathy and astrology. None whatsoever. Not even with regard to animals. Opening your mind to science makes the world a more interesting place, though there aren't magical faeires, demons, and wizards. But science can make a pill for that, if you so desire.

your continued apparent lack of reading comprehension skills is truly awesome

I am engaged in research to discover the material propertities and behavour of certain cardiac structures (the mitral valve apparatus)

people who do this kind of work (yes using the scientific method) are called.....

can you guess?

yes thats right

scientists

Exactly. You might be a technician, but scientist you are not.
