Sitchin spent years researching and his material isn't made up fantasy. I'm sure there are errors, but his research appears maticulous.

It makes more sense to believe an alien race started mankind than two hands reaching down from the heavens molding man. People should be realistic and use the brains they were given, instead of believing an old man on a throne made us from clay, although I do believe clay was the vessel for Anunnaki genetics and there are depictions of their creations.

Actually I still believe all life began in water, and the god consciousness is contained within all.
