Actually, the asteroid belt is manifestly not due to collision. We have discussed this in previous threads.
And as the timeframes are off for the collision, I'm not sure what we should say about Sitchin "getting it right". There
may have been a collision that created the moon, it's looking more and more likely that there was, but it occured early on in the formation period of our solar system and as the orbital mechanics of a large planet/brown dwarf interloping in the inner solar system and causing such a collision don't work out, I'm inclined to say Sitchin got it wrong.
By the way, that discussion about the Kuiper Belt was a nice summary. Of course, it goes against Sitchin who wants one of those objects, seemingly beyond that orbital radius, to make inner-solar-system forrays.
