You are making my argument for me. Do you not see it? Make the leap.
I am NOT saying Astrology is true. I'm saying that a lot of people over history, long before astronomy exited, observed the stars, and traced their movement, and yes, some of them attributed their movements to 'gods', or did what today we called 'Astrology'. Then eventually, someone was like, man, these celestial bodies seem to follow some patterns, and drifted away from thinking it was 'the gods', and started putting math to it, and boom, we look back on it and call it 'Astronomy'.
But Astronomy did not pop into existence fully formed as a science.

- FrustratedMonky 3y agoGuess that is why I'm surprised this is even an argument. Can do quick search and find many papers and books related to historical developments of the sciences and how in early times they were related. But that would take reading and then trusting historians, which I'm not sure is allowed either these days. In post-truth world, can't trust any studies, can't trust history, can't trust what we see.
