Re: An excellent example, thank you . . .

<250 million years ago something unknown wiped out most life on our planet.

Well, the answer to the problem is obvious:

Modern astronomy clearly shows there to be no Planet X as described in the link you so graciously provided. What happened 250 million years ago is that the predominant species -- lemmings, I believe -- came up with a very similar theory involving a planet they referred to as Planet Y. Life on Earth was eventually all but eradicated when the idea of a near-passing with Planet Y caught on, bringing about widespread panic. All manner of life of the period headed immediately for the security of the local hills -- where they invariably found cliffs to leap from.

Just a theory, but it holds more water than the offered Planet X approach.

Cheers,
Dan
