I don't know if astrology is really. What I do know is, if I was god and I had to make new soles every day I would automate that shit. The easiest way to do that would be to plug in date and time you were born to some sole making algorithm. The algorithm would probably be complexes, but the humans might figure out some common trends for sole made around the same time.
Provide literally any evidence a god or souls exist
You're pushing the issue back. Astrology isn't bullshit because you think it's reasonable for a god to create souls that way. But how do we know that god exists, and that he actually does create souls in this manner.
Astrology is predicated on the idea of higher powers existing. Astrology was created at a time when people thought the planet Jupiter was a literal god in the sky.
That doesn't make it not bullshit. If anything that makes it sound more bullshit to me. If you're saying it's not bullshit, why? What reason do you have?
If Astrology = True Then Higher Power = True Therefore Lazy higher power would make astrology
In don't know how to make my position any simpler for you
Okay. How do you know astrology is true?
You have one premise and two conclusions. I'd argue a higher power existing should also be a premise and not a conclusion, given that it sounds like its necessary for astrology to work.
Thank you for clarifying, because when you say a lazy higher power could have used astrology it sounds like you are basing the reason for why you believe in astrology because you think there's a lazy higher power.
I feel like the easiest would just be to assign newborns one of 12 (or however many) archetypes and just rotate through the list constantly. So a baby born gets archetype 1, then the next born wherever in the world gets 2, then 3, then so on until 12 when we restart at 1.
Humans would never be able to trace it because so many babies are born and the data and infrastructure doesn't exist worldwide to track births to the second. It'd be functionally random but divided exactly.
