Yes, that was quite a hit below the belt to those who believe that these are the ways that god "appears" to us today.

When you discuss the astrologers and all their records, kept for religious purposes, I suppose that we can admit that there has been at least one benefit to society that religion brought us. Well, that, and getting rid of those pesky witches in Salem.
