Controversial
and Challenging!
The Zecharia
Sitchin Books
"I have always loved to see the
"conventional wisdom" challenged. Not by
crackpots or those suffering from
delusions, but by those who have done a
lot of research, uncovered a lot of
evidence, constructed new syntheses, and
drawn astonishing conclusions based on the
evidence they've collected. It does not
mean these iconoclasts are correct. It
does mean they need to be read, and taken
seriously, and challenged.
"When I was a sophomore in high school,
I read Sigmund Freud and I drew the
conclusion that he was wrong, wrong,
wrong. I thought his theories, for the
most part, were false. But practically
everyone I knew or had heard of took Freud
seriously and he has certainly had an
effect (mainly harmful, I will argue) on
our society and culture.
"After more than forty years, I still
think Freud's theories are bunk! But many
still take them seriously. Here comes
Zecharia Sitchin, with some theories that
most current scientists, philosophers, and
theologians will probably argue are bunk.
But, then, have they looked at his
evidence? Have they thought about how he
puts this evidence together to form his
new synthesis? I suspect they have not. He
is simply dismissed out of hand because
his ideas are "off-beat" and challenge the
conventional wisdom.
"Well, my friends, the conventional
wisdom has been wrong before and,
undoubtedly, will be wrong again. I am not
saying Sitchin is correct. I am saying he
should be read and taken seriously. For
now, I am reserving final judgment on his
conclusions. But I do find his books
fascinating and thought-provoking and,
yes, 'radical.'" J. Dolhenty
