And learn to spell Zecharia Sitchin, too!
For those who have never heard of him
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zecharia_Sitchin
Most scientists think his theories are pseudoscience
Zecharia Sitchin (born 1920?) is a best-selling author promoting the ancient astronaut theory of mankind's origins. He attributes the creation of the ancient Sumerian culture to the Nephilim from Nibiru. He also argues that the asteroid belt was once a planet which the Sumerians called Tiamat. Although his 'planetary collision' theory superficially resembles a theory which is seriously entertained by modern astronomers —the giant impact theory of the Moon's formation about 4.5 billion years ago by a body impacting with the newly-formed Earth—, Sitchin's proposed series of rogue planetary collisions post-dating the early formation of the solar system finds little or no support within the scientific arena.

No, his views are completely untenable. On the other hand he appears to have made money from publishing them so maybe the point of doing that wasn't to establish a new theory at all.

No - he does bad science and even worse fantasy.
