星相学是一门可信的科学
最近,我的导师尼克凯宾发给我这么一条消息:印度法庭判决:星相学是一门可信的科学。 这文章来自2011年2月四日英国Telegraph 报,
我简单翻译,大意如下:
星相学,一门以行星之间的关系来解释一切的学科,被印度法庭裁决为可信的科学。星相学早就被科学家否定,印度孟买高级法庭认为,星相学和科学同行。
在印度,婚礼等重大日子都要由星相学家来决定。一个星相学家认为吉祥的日子,可能会有上千个婚礼,以至于交通堵塞。这些裁决是由一个要求禁止星相学的组织引起,这个叫做Janhit Manch的人以反对黑魔法和伪星相学的名义,要求以印度印度药物和魔力治疗法一九五四年法令中禁止广告滥宣传的条例,禁止黑魔法和星相学活动。
法官否决了申请。政府药物管理副总长说:“这项法令不包括星相学和相关领域。星相学是一门可信的学科,已经有了四千年的实践。”
全文如下:
Astrology is a Science, Court Rules
By Dean Nelson, New Delhi 04 Feb 2011
Astrology, the study of interplanetary alignments as the explanation for everything, is a credible science, an Indian court has ruled.
For years it has been dismissed by the world's scientists, but according to the Bombay High Court astrologers are officially their colleagues.
The judgment will be met with relief in India, where engagements are decided, wedding and election dates are chosen on the basis of detailed charts drawn up by revered astrologers. A day deemed "auspicious" by an astrologer can lead to thousands of weddings and traffic gridlock.
The ruling was made in a case brought by a campaign group, Janhit Manch,
which sought a ruling against practitioners of "tantric" black magic and
"fake" astrologers. Their "work" should be prohibited by India's Drugs and
Megical Remedies Act (Objectionable Advertisements) Act, 1954 which bans
false claims in advertisements.
The judges rejected the application, however, relying on an affidavit by Dr
R Ramakrishna, a government deputy drug controller, who said: "The Act does not cover astrology and related sciences. Astrology is a trusted science and is being practised for over 4000 years."
Lakshman Das Madan, one of India's leading astrologers and editor of the
bestselling 'Babaji' magazine, offers detailed predictions ranging from
domestic political tips on ministerial resignations to the wedding dates for
top cricket stars. He remains hugely popular despite several errors. In
2009, he predicted the Hindu nationalist opposition BJP and its allies would
win the election. In fact it lost spectacularly to its Congress rivals.
