This program is as loose and false with "experts" presenting their unsubstantiated beliefs as facts, as the equally ridiculous fakeumentary "Ancient Aliens".
The person who created this fakeumentary series is also involved in creating "Ancient Aliens".
To try and pretend to have some sense of logic, reason, and fact based information, this show finds one or two actual experts in their respective field of study to offer a more fact based rebuttal of the BS presented as fact. As is obvious, those actual experts are presented as the minority fringe, while "true believers" beliefs are presented as fact, by the majority of the non experts.
This style of fakeumentary has become the basis and mainstay of programming that now dominate cable networks that used to present actual fact based documentary. Those networks were
the "History Channel", "The Learning Channel", "Animal Planet".
And even the Science Channel has greatly increased programs that are based on personal beliefs and conspiracy theories of people presented as "experts", when in fact they are not actual experts in their respective fields of study, but people who write books promoting things like "Ancient Aliens" as being real and fact based evidence.
The actual scientist, astrophysicist, attempts to give actual known by actual research, information about Planet 9, and that there is growing evidence that such a planet likely exists.
However, that information is greatly overshadowed by non science based "experts" who promote non evidence based beliefs that that planet is "Nibiru", a planet that they claim will destroy Earth.
And that non fact based belief is given great screen time and weight as being true, and unquestioningly true.
Meanwhile, the actual scientist is given some screen time to offer that boring "fact based science", which seems to be treated as fringe ideas by actual physicists, astronomers, and scientists.
That is but one example. In the other shows, such as the one about Nostradamus, there is no differing point of view. Everyone on that show presets their beliefs as actual fact, based on actual known and accepted facts, by "Those who live by his words."
That particular program in this ridiculous series, presents Nostradamus as if his "prophecies" are real and true, and that his "visions" are real and never to be questioned.
This is yet another of the great plethora of such programs and movies, constantly promoting Nostradamus's quatrains as being actual views of the future, and not just the musings of a early proponent of conspiracy theory pushers.
Nostradamus was nothing more than a creative writer who thought that his "visions" were views of the future.
His quatrains are vague and nonsensical BS.
So much so that there nothing, nothing, in his writing where he actually names a real major event that happened after his death.
If he saw the future, then his visions were extremely blurry such that he couldn't accurately write and clearly identify what the events to be were, where they were, and who was involved.
There is nothing in Nostradamus's writing that clearly identifies anything. It's all vague nonsense that "true believers" later had to torture and twist his words and writings in attempt to somehow attach those writings to major events that happened hundreds of years and centuries after his death.
All that silliness is presented as fact based truth.
Programs like these do nothing but satisfy the need of some people to believe things they want to believe, and they will even without actual evidence.
The damage these programs do is that they push the idea that actual fact based science, history, medicine, etc., is easy to dismiss, when the actual facts don't fit what such believers want to hear.
