[Phys-L] Re: Finally the secularists strike back



I think that it was meant to be Kepler, not Copernicus,
in the item 2 below.

Not only Copernicus and Kepler but also many other astronomers in the
16th and 17th century used their astronomy skills toward producing
better horoscopes for their church and political patrons, as well as
medical doctors. How many astronomers actually believed in horoscopes
themselves is another matter.
