Strange Reasoning

My Friends,

Since I have been busy, I will take a moment and just leave you with a couple questions on astrology.

Many scientists give the following as a reason they do not accept astrology:

The gravitational influence of Mars or the other planets on the earth or a person on it is just about zero, so the idea that Mars could influence a person on earth is preposterous.

Question: Where is the flaw in this argument?

A religious objection is:

God commands that we are to worship Him, not the stars.

Question: Where is the flaw in this reasoning?

Another objection:

God commands us to look to him for guidance, not the stars!

Question: Where is the flaw in this?
