That's my point exactly! You criticize the position that astrology is subject to scientific investigation, yet you dare not come out and say it isn't.
Where did I criticize the position that astrology is subject to scientific investigation? Please provide quotes from me that support your assertion.

Okay. Find the post in this thread where you started this nonsense.

Michael Behe, himself stated on the witness stand in Dover, PA that the requirements of science would have to be lowered in order for ID to be considered a theory.


It's not even accurate, if anyone cares to read what was actually said. It's not "the requirements of science" he's discussing; it's a legalistic "official definition" that's in question.

The argument is based upon scaring people with the bug-a-boo word "astrology".

It's a cheap knock-off of agrumentum ad Hitlerum.
Just thought I would start doing what has worked for you.

It is perfectly correct to say science can investigate astrology, so why mock someone for saying so?
I didn't.
I didn't say you did. Plenty of evolutionists do, and anyone who buys your self-defeated argument mocks reality. Even to repeat such garbage as if it had merit is to mock the readership.

Any definition of 'science' which excludes investigation of astrology must be defective - not the other way around.
The definition of "theory" in science does not exclude investigation of astrology. It just excludes astrology from being a theory because it has been falsified.
Evobabbling double-talk. There are no falsified theories? How dumb do you think we're willing to believe you are?

I never said anything about nor alluded to the definition of "science".

I never said nor alluded to the idea that astrology cannot be investigated.

Has reading comprehension always been a problem with you or is this just a recent phenomenon?
I know what's not a recent phenomenon: Evolutionists contradicting themselves. We already have quite a showcase. Do we need more?

Your argument is that investigating ID is equivalent to investigating astrology, is it not? Or do you just post links to liars making this argument for our amusement? This is not a corrupt courtroom setting. I can and do challenge this brazenly bogus argument.
