• 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.

  • 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.

extinct civilization… on other planets… does not concern you?

perhaps you are not troubled… because you do not believe?
The discussion was about an expectation of intelligent life in the solar system today (UFOs, remember?).

I have no opinion on the possibility of extinct civilizations on other planets, beyond observing that we have no evidence for any.

None of the other planets are like this one.


On Earth, yes; but even here intelligent life is the exception. We've found no evidence of any life elsewhere in the solar system, let alone intelligent life.

After the last few years I am beginning to think that there is less intelligent life on earth than previously imagined.
