There are "subtle" sciences and so-called "hard" sciences. We are leaving the realm of hard science with the Age of Pisces being over and entering the Age of Aquarius during which subtle science will dominate.

What I said was there is no way to realistically test the date of death thing. Except by dying sooner or dying later than the date. Because I also believe in freewill and the power of LOA. Destiny is for the weak minded. If you know or calculate your alleged date of death, are you creating the death through your belief in it? Or would it have occurred naturally as predicted by astrology? The only way to test it would be to have experimentors doing double blind tests where the subject and testor were unaware of the predicted date of death. The experimentor could literally influence the death as well if he knew the dates.

So, as with hard science, it IS possible to test it. I just don't see anyone realistically doing it.
