Interesting...the only reference to any 'evidence' at all, comes from those who believe...those who obviously don't, offer no alternative explanations or anything that disproves it at all.
The simple truth is reached by examining facts, and there are MANY that people don't mention because they actually take them for granted...
It is a fact that almost every culture has ancient writings/stories/prophesies. It is a fact that religion exists at all. (Why?) It is a fact that Sumer, archeologically speaking, is the first civilization that existed. It is a fact that the Sumerian culture practiced all the things that denote civilization, and that before Sumer, there wasn't one. Now lets just absorb that for a minute...nothing, then all of a sudden - historically speaking - we have agriculture, law, religion, mathematics, science (including a very in depth and detailed astronomy that all today's society can do is continually prove the ancient texts correct), literature (with an original alphabet of over 400 characters), schools, marraige and divorce, advanced architecture, and the list goes on...
It is a fact that all the oldest societies have stories and teachings referencing 'gods' that lived among them physically - from diverse places across the globe, with corroborating storylines...from India to Africa to Central America. It is a fact that Uranus sits on its side...
The facts can literally be listed for pages and pages, and can easily be confirmed simply via some serious googling...you'd be surprised to find that much of these facts can be found in news articles, science magazine sites, and some reputable .org sites as well.
I do know this...there isn't another explanation out there that I've found, that explains the cracks in the ocean floor, the fact that the crust is superthin there, why the moon is orbiting Earth instead of being a planet like it should be, why Pluto is a planet when it should be a moon of another planet, why Uranus is tilted on it's side, how the asteroid belt came to be, an explanation for the megalithic and ancient constructs that pepper the entire earth, with pyramid structures in as diverse places as Egypt, Mexico, China and so forth - built on geomagnetic ley lines, and with a precision that cannot be duplicated even today...;an explanation for the increased solar activity we are currently experiencing (this is supposed to be solar minimum...solar maximum for this cycle won't be until...yep...2011-2012); I've never heard any plausible explanations for stories of hybrid creatures that existed in myth and legend like the minotaur, centaur, etc. until I discovered that Sitchin's Enki was a geneticist as well as a physicist; I've found no other explanations for the newest discoveries either...like tracing mitochondrial DNA of todays people back to Africa approximately 6000 years ago, or why using the same mathematical method that allowed man to 'discover' Neptune (gravitational perturbations) says that there should be another planet out there beyond it - and that Pluto is not large enough to come close to being it...the planet they are looking for, that would explain these perturbations is 2 to 5 times larger than Earth. I've found nothing that does all of that, AND corroborates stories from not just the Bible, but of all the great works and epics of all the oldest faiths on the planet. I've found nothing else in history to explain WHY gold has such value...there are many rare metals that aren't worth as much, or followed so closely, or coveted so much...I've found nothing else that explains the archeological finds of ancient gold mines in Africa either. Nothing to explain why there's a gap in the evolutionary chain...nothing else that explains the 'fallen angels' of the bible that mated with human women, nothing else that explains why sometimes the biblical God is full of angry wrath, and others when it's all generosity...why it's ok sometimes to commit genocide in the bible, and others when 'Thou shalt not kill' is the rule.
I don't know what the truth really is...my lifespan won't allow me the time to learn it all. I do know, however, that enough circumstantial evidence in court will get a conviction. And people in general believe so much more, on so much less information.
As for seeing this planet, if it exists, on it's approach...are you looking in the right place? To paraphrase an 'Armageddon' actor...'begging your pardon, Sir, but it's a big ass sky'. Nibiru's orbit is apparently retrograde and highly eliptical...my guess is that that's why there is a big telescope set up right at the South Pole. On it's approach to us, it comes from our South...we wouldn't see it from North America - at least, not unless it was relatively close, winter, and the middle of the night.
I recall someone on these posts saying that the planet would be a cold dead world if it travelled that far from the sun...how so? All planets with mass have a core that generates its own heat as well as that recieved from the sun, and in actuality there are several planets and moons with temperatures capable of sustaining liquid water...Europa is supposed to have a crust of ice, with an incredibly deep sea of liquid under it heated from the interior. NASA is putting together a mission with a deep sea rover as we speak to explore it...so it's not so farfetched to imagine that a planet with life on it could exist far from the sun - especially if it had a core larger than our own, and was geologically active.
Anyway...I realize the last post for this topic was in 2004...just felt the need to reply to it...lol.
