Does this make astrology more believable?

I always thought the soul descended from heaven, travelled through space and whatever constellation that’s present at the time to your body. And the reason zodiacs share common core personality traits is because of this process. Last night I found out that the human body shares the same atomic/elemental make up as a star which would somewhat support an astrological connection to the make up of humans right?

What’s your source that a star and the human body have 97% of the same atomic structure?

u/danknugless 1d ago

Dude wants to identify as 97% star. That's it. There are no sources.

I think op is a little goofy for thinking this way, but the science is pretty clear that all matter in the observable universe comes from exploding stars. We are matter in the universe, therefore we are 100% made of material that originated in stars.

Edit: I guess we still don't fully understand dark matter, so we don't really know. But with regards to the non dark matter parts of our body, 100% stardust

Yes we are made of some material but we are not majority the same. Like I said, you and a door also share some common atoms.

Where does the part of us that doesn't come from stars come from?

Hydrogen is most likely from big bang. I would say that while yes OP is correct on the science his conclusion astrology is a wild jump that has little correlation.

Yes, certainly by our current understanding, everything traces back to the big bang. But it wasn't just free floating hydrogen in space for 13 billion years and then it entered our bodies directly.

Early matter aggregated into stars, which then exploded, creating more complex elements, which formed planets, including Earth. Ergo, we are made of stars.

Definitely agree that astrology is a wild jump!

Who said “majority the same”.

No one is saying we are stars. The majority of the elements that we are made of weren’t formed during the Big Bang, they were produced by nova and supernova. Hence; we are made of stars.
