00:00My question is, what is your opinion about Astrology, because a large chunk of people

00:05with even rational mindset, they also believe in Astrology, do you believe in it personally?

00:11If yes, why?

00:12And why not?

00:13So here is the point blank answer, anybody who believes in Astrology cannot be a rational

00:17person.

00:18A narrative cannot be termed as a science.

00:22I come up with a story and I say this story is science, no, the story is not science.

00:27Science is based on verifiable and falsifiable experiments, show me that it works, display

00:34it right in front of me and I'll be very happy to accept and nothing can ever be displayed

00:40in this field.

00:41All you have is a set of beliefs, belief that this thing will happen.

00:45Why to believe it?

00:46Because you know, some person has been talking of these things, so you too should believe.

00:51If you don't believe, maybe you will meet some harm, so it's safer for you that you

00:54just believe.

00:55There is no sense in this.

00:56There is just fear and insecurity.
