Did the Super Moon Cause the Tsunami and Earthquakes in Japan: Fact or Fiction



It is a fact that a tsunami and an earthquake in Japan, on March 11, 2011, had disastrous consequences for thousands of people. One cannot dismiss this reality as fiction. It is a fact. 

Which came first and what caused them? One must argue that the earthquake occurred first, causing the tsunami and the nuclear disaster still unfolding in that area.     

Cause and effect relationships may be possible to identify, at least to some extent. Is it possible to prove them scientifically? This depends upon which scientific discipline one chooses to follow.

Mailonline suggests that astrologers predicted the super moon would be closer to the earth, than at any time since 1992, in fact, only 221,567 miles way and that the gravitational pull would result in chaos to the earth. (1)

Others also predicted volcanic eruptions, as well as earthquakes. (2)

The photograph of the whirlpool, caused by currents from the tsunami, near the port of Oarai (3) reveals the close proximity of the whirlpool, to the island of Japan.

Richard Nolle, the astrologer who coined the word lunar perigee, in 1979, claimed that these events cause natural disasters. (4)

Others dispute his theory, arguing that the Pacific Ring of Fire, near Japan, is a volcanic zone, where continental and oceanic plates meet. (5)

As these plates shift, causing an earthquake, there is an accompanying displacement of water, creating a tsunami effect.

Dr. Roger Musson, British Geological Survey, suggests that the Pacific Plate, plunging under Japan, resulted in the earthquake and the tsunami. (6)

While it seems senseless to argue cause and effect, there is non-unity of scientific theory, as different disciplines claim to have the answer to the question, “Did the super moon cause the tsunami and earthquake in Japan?”

At the same time, can one really say that what astrologers have to state about the sun, moon and earth alignment and the distance of the moon from the earth, is totally unrelated to the catastrophic events in Japan or other parts of the world? How many major earthquakes have there been recently?  

Interestingly, Biblically speaking, the Three Wise Men were also astrologers. Some regarded their predictions as fiction, not fact.

“...these priests paid particular attention to the stars, and gained an international reputation for astrology, which was at that time highly regarded as a science.” (7)

Remember that the Magi’s area of scientific expertise was the stars. Humankind always has the freedom to choose which scientific theory to believe, but perhaps one should pay more attention to what the astrologers predict in relation to the stars.

Why do scientific disciplines invariably go their separate ways?

Whatever happened to unity of scientific theory?
