Did NASA Announce It Has Found Life on Mars or Outer Space?
Short answer: No. But to read the click-bait headlines circulating on the internet in the last couple of days, you'd think so. All you need to do is read NASA's own announcement -- just the first paragraph: NASA’s Curiosity rover has found new evidence preserved in...

Naked Bible Podcast Episode 178: Why the World Didn’t End on September 23
The short answer: Because the people who said it would are either inept Bible interpreters or false teachers. For why that's the case, listen to the episode - recorded on Sept 22. Description: September 23 has come and gone. The world didn’t end. Jesus didn’t return....
More Inept Bible Interpretation: David Meade Predicts Planet X Will Destroy the Earth in October
Hard to believe, but the Planet-Xers are still out there making more bogus predictions. David Meade says Planet X will crash into the earth in October, destroying us all. How is it that real astronomers don't see this happening? Good question. Meade has the answer:...
A New Planet Beyond Pluto? Sitchin is Still Wrong
I've been getting emails about the news that some scientists are claiming (note: a claim isn't the same as established fact) that there is a very large planet beyond Pluto. This naturally excites Sitchinites and other ancient astronaut theorists who follow the work of...
New Research on Nibiru Shows Sitchin is Still Wrong
I recently received this short note in email about some work done in the cuneiform sources regarding Nibiru: Dear Dr. Heiser, I have analyzed the extant cuneiform evidence in the peer-reviewed publication "The Marduk Star Nebiru" (CDLI Bulletin 2015:3). I conclude...
Zecharia Sitchin’s Planet X PaleoBabble
Astronomer Stuart Robbins has made a considerable effort in his PseudoAstronomy podcast to tell the truth about how real astronomy does not jive with the astronomical quackery of Zecharia Sitchin. I was recently interviewed by Stuart for his podcast (those episodes...
Mars, the Moon, Planet X, and Wacky ET Theories: Exposing Pseudo-Astronomy
I've occasionally blogged about Stuart Robbins' podcast, Exposing PseudoAstronomy. Stuart has invited me for an interview. It will take place in November, but I'll let you all know when he actually posts it. Stuart has done excellent (and time-consuming) work exposing...
Top Ten List of Other Things You Believe if You Believe the World Ends on Dec 21, 2012 Because of Planet X
If you believe in this nonsense, then here is what else you must believe: 1. That everything we know about astronomy and celestial mechanics is wrong (I'd want to know how we put people on the moon, why Voyager was a success, and how we landed rovers on Mars if that's...
Mike Scheduled for Coast to Coast AM: Discussing Prophecy (Really)
The anomalous nature of me being on Coast to Coast AM discussing this topic will make sense once you hear the date. I've blogged here in the past (at length) about how an obsession with prophecy is a waste of time -- and I stand by that. So who better to discuss...
Mike on Coast to Coast AM Thursday Night, Just Before the World Ends
The folks at Coast to Coast AM have scheduled me for Thursday, December 20. I'm naturally relieved that I'll get to be on the show again before the world ends the next day. The topic will be apocalypticism, and so we'll be chatting about the Mayan Doomsday hype,...
The Planet X Fraud
In case you haven't heard of "Planet X," it's a notorious piece on Paleobabble that was derived from Zecharia Sitchin's 12th planet Nibiru nonsense. However, Planet X has since taken on a (fake) life of its own, so that the idea cannot be equated with Sitchin's...
Ancient Aliens, Religion, and Nature.Com
Dr. Michael Blume, author of the SciLogs blog, whose focus is "the nature of faith / evolutionary studies of religion, was kind enough to ask me for a short interview regarding why modern people believe in PaleoSETI -- visitation of earth by aliens in antiquity. I was...
Satirical Music Video Targeting Nibiru 2012 Mythology
One of the members of the Boston-based rock band, Metaphor for Everything, sent me the link to a new single, accompanied by a note that the song was inspired by my Zecharia Sitchin site. Apparently the site convince one of the band members to leave the ancient...
