• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

everyone knows someone who has seen a ghost,

and somehow you find it difficult to accept?

If anyone I know has ever seen a ghost, they certainly haven't admitted to it. Now, do you want to talk about ghost planets and how they could be detected, or not?

just the idea that another planet has intelligent life…

(in our solar system)

Even if there was an unknwon planet in the outer reaches of the solar system, how do you figure that it contains intelligent life? Or life of any form?

But you used the present tense about other habitable (wait, no, actually "has" intelligent life) planets in the Solar System. Certainly no other planets in our Solar System currently have intelligent life.

Planet 9 would be well past Pluto. Pluto has glaciers of nitrogen and rocks made of water. No life there.

So you can view it

I think you fail to understand my question:

This clip is from one of those shows on History or Discovery or one of those other basic cable channels. Why had this not been reported elsewhere if true?

Perhaps you can't know

Since you can't be bothered to provide even the most basic of reason or evidence for the stuff in the clip you posted (without any description), then we'll just consider it to be nothing.

I'm not an expert, nor scholar,
Then you should not be making absolute claims that lie in the realm of experts and scholars. It is misleading.
I'm sharing related and relevant insight
It was very vaguely related in the sense that it was about ancient astronomers; it was irrelvant because it offered zero support for, or reference to, your specific claim.
I hope the next time I ask you for support for one of your claims it doesn't take this much time to establish that you don't have any. But thank you for the eventual response.
