Oh and FYI.....
Mike earned his PhD in Hebrew Bible and Semitic Languages at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.  Before going to the UW-Madison, Mike earned an M.A. in Ancient History from the University of Pennsylvania (major fields were Ancient Israel and Egyptology), and another M.A. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (Hebrew Studies).  He also attended Dallas Theological Seminary.  Mike’s undergraduate degree is from Bob Jones University, but he also attended Bible college for three years.

Just because someone has all these accredited titles does not mean shit. Sitchin taught himself to read Sumerian, was the largest private owner of Sumerian and Babylonian clay tablets. Traveled the world through out his entire life to ancient sites with groups of people. He was a teacher and researcher not defined by his multiple MA'S or his Christian background. MH can say what ever he likes. But Sitchin took action to learn. You cant learn what he did sitting behind a fucking desk. It takes action based on direction. Sitchin did all of this in search of truth. Anyone that wants to debunk him without doing the same is a lazy hack trying to ride the coat tails of the guy that did all the work. MH is an epic fail regardless of his education background. Anybody can go to school forever and achieve these same degrees. However it does not hold merit unless you can say "I have been there and done that and this is what I have learned over the past 40 years". Again action with direction and purpose is what is required to attain knowledge. Its not for everyone.

Original Message I understand that many people disagree with Zecharia Sitchin. I also understand that many people are too vacuous to bother reading any of his work themselves, and simply parrot the opinions of the "Scholarly Traditions".

If you're a skeptic, then you've done research into things you don't believe in or agree with. If you're a debunker, then you DON'T do research into anything you don't believe in or agree with.

To say "I don't believe that, or think that it's possible therefore it isn't possible." is tantamount to Danniken saying "Ancient Man could not have done this, therefore it's the aliens."

Essentially, people seem to get pissed at anything they encounter which contradicts what they've been told and when they're challenged to provide an intelligent basis for their position, they turn angry and start throwing insults and vague statements around.

Those are not welcome in this thread.

If you disagree with, yet have read, Sitchin; or done anything but the most cursory research of the mildly curious; if you're a genuine, pure, intelligent skeptic then LET'S DO THIS!!!

Anyone who pipes in with "You're an idiot" or "I don't believe, therefore it is not" statements will receive no response. I'm looking for a discussion, not degeneration.
