books to debunk astrology?

It's never been done. The most you get are fedora types doing cringey "well obviously its dumb because THE SCIENCE says so" and christcucks going "well obviously its demonic because THE BIBLE says so". Nobody who can actually think for themselves and study the world denies the power of astrology.

What happens to astrology, hypothetically, if a planet disappears? Does the system proceed as though the planet were still there, or does an entire new system emerge?

>Debunk astrology
Uhhhh... because not a single one of my horoscopes has EVER been accurate or come true and every single question I've ever asked on websites like Astrology.com have ALWAYS been wrong?

How about that? Idiot.

>>25304651
they are actually designed to always be accurate, so maybe you are doing it wrong

No seriously my friend believes in astrology because he claims he was skeptical at first but he was someone seeing consistencies in other people's behavior based on astrology readings. I think this system is demonic and takes some kind of control over your reality if you even entertain it by looking into it a bit.

>or does an entire new system emerge?
Yes.

Dawkins is a kike atheist (anglos are basically jews) who wants to turn the UK into a soulless crypto-calvinist strip mall.

There's an interesting argument against astrology at the start of book 5 of St. Augustine's City of God that goes for 10 pages or so.

His main argument is that the existence of twins, particularly identical twins, debunks astrology. Though conceived at the same moment and born under the same sign, twins often have very different personalities and careers, something astrologers have no counter argument to explain.

That's a terrible argument. You could use the same logic to debunk genetics and family influence. Astrology doesn't make exact predictions.
Also twins are a terrible example because they *are* frequently similar and even two-halves-of-one-persony. You'd want to compare complete strangers with similar birth charts.

You don't need a book to debunk astrology. There's a bunch of articles out there that survey attempts to test astrology and they pretty much all fail. Here's one that's just 5 pages and makes a compelling argument

You don't really need 200 pages of "and here's another reason it doesn't make sense".
True believers will just respond to statistical tests with "whatever, I've seen it work and I know it works."
