This is what Behe said when questioned about astrology:

“Question..... But you are clear, under your definition, the definition that sweeps in intelligent design, astrology is also a scientific theory, correct?

Answer.... Yes, that’s correct. And let me explain under my definition of the word “theory,” it is — a sense of the word “theory” does not include the theory being true, it means a proposition based on physical evidence to explain some facts by logical inferences. There have been many theories throughout the history of science which looked good at the time which further progress has shown to be incorrect. Nonetheless, we can’t go back and say that because they were incorrect they were not theories. So many many things that we now realized to be incorrect, incorrect theories, are nonetheless theories.”.

You may have to explain it S L O W L Y to the Braying Bunch.

Yes did see where Behe said according to his definition Astrology was a scientific theory on the same accord as intelligent design.

I guess that means that neither are correct.
