Was it coincidence that Sitchin wrote about the Sumerian 12th planet on a massive elliptical orbit of our Sun?

One of his claims is that the Sumerians knew and documented this planet. There are indeed depictions of what COULD be seen as 12 planets orbiting the sun accompanying their pictures of the beings known as the Anunnaki. These pictures allegedly date back in excess of 6000 years.

There is also controvertial ideas that this "12th" planet was the cause of cataclysmic occurances on Earth that almost wiped out life on this planet as it passed 'close' to us; the same major events that are documented in many of our different religious writings, perhaps?

The constructions of Stonehenge and many of the similar major prehistoric buildings world-wide that have so far been thought to have been for the purpose of monitoring the skys, were all started around the 3rd millennium, BCE, soon after the period in time that such cataclysms were thought to have occurred.
Another coincidence?

Can anyone tell me where this "12th" planet will be in it's orbit, around the year 2012?

Can you agree that science as it was meant to be is dead?

The Death of Science

"We have reached the end of the Age of Science - what will come after, I don't know, but I don't think that we'll ever again have a time when Science is enshrined as some sort of god-like arbiter of right and wrong. The question now: what killed science?

A lot of different factors - but the main thing was that science could only thrive as it did from about 1650 until 1850 when everyone agreed on the rules. The prime rule of science was truth - everyone involved in science had to tell the truth to the best of their ability, and always be willing to correct one's views when new evidence called in to question previously held beliefs. What killed science was when its strongest advocate stopped telling the truth."

It makes sense to me after reading this...because how manay times have i heard contradictary statements from studies that have been done...one study says something is good...another study says the same thing is bad...it seems science is for hire...

how old is he?

A giant tortoise spent ¼ of his life in a house with a family, 1/8 of his life in an animal rehabilitation clinic to repair some damage he got to his shell when he fell down the stairs at the house, and ½ of his life at Disney World in the Amazing Animals Show after it was discovered he could beat a rabbit in a race. If the Tortoise spent 10 years in the wild before the family took him in, how old is he?

Will Anything Exist For Eternity?

this sounds like a very stupid question (much like the first one I did; after reading that article, I occassionally had deep thoughts). Has science proved something that will exist forever; even if the universe or everything else gets destroyed? Even when time itself ends?

Is time really infinite? If so, what does the "end of time" mean?

People are talking about Mars appearing on 27/8. Isn't Mars there everynight?. What is the real truth?

Some people are saying that Planet Mars will be the brightest in the night sky starting August. It will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye.

This will culminate on Aug.27th when Mars comes within 34.650M miles of Earth. They claim that we will be able to see it in the sky on Aug. 27 at 12:30 am. It will look like The Earth has 2 Moons. Furthermore, that the next time Mars may come this much close is 2287? How true is this? Can we see Mars everynight if the sky is clear?
