As much as he tries to disprove the astrology, he makes a fool of himself when he equates Surya Sidhhanta and the science of astrology. Surya Sidhantha is a mathematical treatise on astronomy, not astrology. Much of the ancient Indian mathematicians believed in it and researched on that subject for several thousand years before this clown started to yap on a two-bit worthless online news site - and somehow he is trying hard to prove his logical prowess by running down millenias of mathematical research done by ancient Indian astronomers. If your ancestors were capable of measuring the distance between the moon and the earth, they were also capable of making sound judgements as to what is to be studied and persued and what shouldn't be - surely Vedic astrology wouldn't have survived all these years without having people to pursue it as a serious study?
And then there are people who post the article on a forum with an innocent looking question like "Is this true?" forcing people to read through the garbage - a way of advertising an ideology and cast doubts on the followers so much so that after a few of such repititious garbage throwing with puppy-eyed-innocent-questions like this the people here would start to question their faith and pursuit of a subject - a ploy mostly used by Pakis and Christian missionaries to sow doubts about Hindu religion in others minds.
All must seek the truth, no doubt about that, but not by running down others believes or by mocking another's pursuit. If you have doubts about a certain subject make sure that you do a little research yourself before raising "Please comment on this garbage" or "Is this true?" sort of questions.
