However, I will not "relax" about something that is exploiting people's fears and disguises magical/wishful thinking as reason. It's not "harmless fun". It is to science (and a better life for all) what Fox is to politics. Some planets far away affect you about as much (when you are born and otherwise) as a book next to the bed.
To paraphrase Asimov (Ike and I happen to agree on this one, and now I'm reduced to "appeal to authority", my lack of God I must stop): It's possible that reason and discussion from facts are not the only way to find out the truth. If you think that's the case, please paint me a painting or meditate a meditation or play me some music that brings me round to your point of view. Anything that does is not a logical, step-by-step testing of verifiable facts.
There is no way to rationally discuss this (or homeopathy, or "crystal" or ...). Have the last word. -----sapere aude
