Devlina di ke dhonyobad, emon ekta bishoy niye alochona korar sujog kore deoar janye.. Prothomei boli ami astrology te bishwash kori ba na kori seta ei lekhar bishoy noy . Kichu lekha pore mone holo emon anekei achhe jara bishwash kore astrology ekta science. Ami sei byaparei kichhu katha bolte chai. Ami bishwash kori na astrology ekta science. Kintu sudhu amar obishwash ba anyo karo bishwas er upor bhor korei to astrology science hoye jete pare na. Amar kachhe science mane 'the systematic observation of natural events and conditions in order to discover facts about them and to formulate laws and principles based on these facts. The organized body of knowledge that is derived from such observations and that can be verified or tested by further investigation'. Asha kori 'science' r ei definition e sabai ekmat hobe. Jadi tai hoy, tahole dekha jak 'astrology' kotodur 'science' hoyar pathe egiyechhe. Amra sabai jani 'astrology' r kono bishes ekta method nei. Athoba bola jete pare bibhinno lok bibhinno bhabe astrological method e bishwashi. Jemon 'sayana' system e (pashchim desh gulite ei method i follow kora hoy) 'sun sign' tairi korte date of birth er sahayo neoa hoy. Sekhane etao dhora hoy je Zodiac system ta moving mane 'stellar objects' gulo sab move korchhe. Abar vedic astrology (athoba 'nirayana' system) te 'moon sign' ke dhora hoy 'sun sign' ke noy. Sekhane 'date of birth' chharao lagno ar birth star er hiseb rakha hoy. Sutorang bola jai ei muhurte astrology ekhono 'systematic observation' hoye otheni.
Ekhon dekha jak astrology-r observation gulo diye satyi kono 'laws' ba 'principles' kora sambhav hoyechhe kina. Ekta study kora hoechhilo jeta science er bikhyato journal 'Nature' e publish hoechhilo 1985 e (Author: Shawn Carlson, Issue date: 5 December, 1985). Eta famous 'double blind' test hisebe bikhyato. Sekhane kichhu bikhyato astrologer der niye ese bibhinno bakti der birth data diye tader samporke predict korte bola hoyechhilo. Ebong Scientist ra nijerao janto na ei sab byakti kara. Sabar nijosyo ekta code deoa chhilo. Ebong ei puro byapar tai Council for Geocosmic Research (NCGR) er dekhbhal e kora hoyechhilo. Ei NCGR sansgthan ti astrological community r khub sradhha r pratisthan. Karon ei NCGR i sab groho ba nakhatro r position er byapare sesh katha bole. Balai bahulyo je scientific data ebong statistics astrologer der ei prediction guloke bhranto praman kore.
Jara detail e agrohi tara niche deoa site gulo te dekhte paro. Conclusion ta ami quote korchhi "...astrology was given every reasonable chance to succeed. It failed. Despite the fact that we worked with some of the best astrologers in the country..., despite the fact that astrologers approved the design and predicted 50 percent as the 'minimum' effect... astrology failed to perform at a level better than chance... The experiment clearly refutes the astrological hypothesis." Sutorang bola jai astrologer ra(tara kintu rasta r more bose thaka astrologer non) kono 'law' ba 'principle' predict korte paren ni. Tototai predict korechhen jeta probability theory byakhya korte pare. Science er definition er kono shortoi tai puron korte pare na astrology.
Ebar science er kichhu misinterpretation e asi. Chand ba suryo er tane kemon bhabe joyar bhata hoy ta to amra sabai jani.

Ei rokom 175 jon astronomer (prithvi bikhyato) ak ta statement e sign korechhilen 1975 sale. Tate bola hoyechhilo anek research korar pore-o emon kichhu praman ona ra pan ni jate astrology-r kono sanga-i thik bole pramanito hote pare.

Devalina di ar ak jaygay bolechhen 'if science had a answer for everything, there would be no need for kind of further research'…..Kintu amar mone hoy ba ami jatota jani….. science kokhono claim kore na je samasta prosner uttor science dite pare. Kintu konta kemon kore ghotbe (cause and effect relationship) seta janar chesta korai science er kaj. Sei karonei aj theke 100 bachhar agekar dhyan dharonar anek paribartan science ghotate perechhe.

Apni aro ek jyagai likhechhen 'For every paper that is written, in a little while, it seems someone writes an opposing viewpoint'. ……Kathata bhul. Karon oi samasta paper, jar katha ami ullekh korechhi tara ekta studies er findings gulo bolechhen matro. Amar mone hoy science er chokhe 'opposition' bole kono katha thakte pare na. Jeta new 'findings' (ta se jerokom i hok na keno) setai scientist der prapti. Seta onara ja thik mone korchhen experiment er age, tar sathe na o milte pare. Kintu ta je meleni setai tader new 'findings'. Sutarang kono scientific paper e ('Nature' emon ekta journal, jekhane Nobel puraskar prapto scientist rao paper publish korar janye mukhiye thaken) sudhumatro 'opposition point of view' prakash kora hoy na jadi na tar madhye 'scientific merit' thake.
