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?
