Analyzing Beliefs: Celestial Influence vs. Scientific Evidence

For centuries, humans have looked to the stars for inspiration and guidance. The observation of celestial events has often been associated with significant events on Earth. However, scientific investigations have shown that such correlations are purely coincidental. Delving into the celestial events of the past few decades, researchers have concluded that fluctuations in the Earth's climate can be predicted with remarkable accuracy through terrestrial data alone, without referencing celestial occurrences.

Yet, many people continue to believe that significant celestial events, like solar eclipses or comets, directly cause important changes in human affairs, such as social revolutions or economic downturns. As a result, there remains a popular belief that certain astronomical phenomena are linked with human events.

Thus, despite the scientific findings indicating that emotion-driven beliefs about celestial influences on human affairs are unfounded, some still insist that the past and future correlation between celestial events and human behavior warrants a certain level of concern regarding upcoming astronomical occurrences.

Which of the following, if true, would best justify the conclusion that the belief in celestial influence should be dismissed?
