World cup Winner Prediction using RP

Friends, yesterday I felt urge to check result of India v/s Australia cricket match. Instead of erecting Horary chart, I decided to take help of Ruling planets.
My options were: 1) India 2) Australia
Ruling Planets were
L - Mars   (9)
S - Saturn (21)
R - Mars    (9)
D - Merc   (9)
No planets in Ret Star. Total of RP numbers is 48 = 12 = 3. Since options are only 2 we need to deduct it from total so 3-2 = 1
The result was, India will win the match. As you all know, India won the match and entered semi-finals.
After the match results, as one of the best team which was the preferred choice for World Cup winner, is out of World Cup,  I thought of checking  possibility of new World Cup Winner. This time again I took the help of RP, as this divine guidance never fails, if urge is true.
Since we always take our team on 1st option I put the team names randomly and my list of possible winners were:

1. Sri Lanka
2. England
3. India
4. Pakistan
5. South Africa
6. New Zealand

Ruling Planets were taken on 25th March 2011 at 10.06.30 AM in Nashik (73.46 E, 19.59 N). Ruling planets were:
L - Venus  (9)
S - Merc   (9)
R - Mars  (9)
D - Venus (9)
No planets in Ret Star. RP total is 36 = 9, since we have 6 options, we need to subtract number of options from RP single digit reduced number. Hence, 9-6 = 3 is our final choice of World Cup Winner.
In our options list, India is on 3rd place so we can predict that India will win this world cup.

Why astrology is not a science?

Why astrology is not a science?

Eyebrows raised? read the question again.

There are mis-beliefs more than beliefs about astrology. But still people visit astrologers for solutions on their problems when all other scientific methods fail. These mis-beliefs starts from the moment they read their birth horoscope casted by some family astrologer or printout taken from some astrology software in a cybercafe, that has predictions about one's life. When people compare these pages with their real-life events and understand that events happened in their life does not matches with their birth horoscope, its natural for them to come to this conclusion that Astrology is not a science and more over its not perfect at all. But then one should think about this again.

If its not a science then why it has lasted for so many centuries. Nothing is immortal in this world. The things, technology, culture, lifestyle, fashion that does not fits in this world, which is not perfect has not lasted for so long. Even scientific theories that were considered correct were proven wrong afterwards and were changed. If astrology is not a science and perfect in its sense, then how it has survived for so long?
