Why do promoters of astrology bail when asked for data sources?

Can’t handle the simple and logical questions so just delete. Seems astrology is an emperor with no clothes.

We’re all children of The Enlightenment. Instead of blindly accepting extraordinary claims, we can demand extraordinary proof. I’d say astrology qualifies as extraordinary. Certainly nothing natural.

If you don't believe it yourself, why don't you just shut up about it and stop annoying people? Why go on and on and on about something you don't believe in? It only makes you look like a troll.

@HairbrushDiva Defense of astrology is weak. The people that deleted their own posts are insecure about magic based beliefs of any kind. They rather flee than fight. Why should we respect such a subject?

At least the religious believers stand their ground.

@BlueSkyKing Nobody is going to respect you with your attitude. You are asking to be blocked.

@HairbrushDiva Do you respect evidence or anecdotes? Zero evidence exists for astrology. Beliefs cannot be tested.

@BlueSkyKing Why don't you accept examples as evidence?

@HairbrushDiva Evidence is detectable, measurable, and testable. Consistency counts too. Anecdotes are not evidence.

I’m more than willing to look at any independent astrology research. A web search comes up empty. Also why can’t the physics be explained?

@BlueSkyKing I don't agree with your statement that "anecdotes are not evidence", so I do not wish to continue this discussion.
