Think about it: which is more plausible to believe? The conspiracy masterminds want to set it up like it's terrorists:
A) Get them on planes, get them to learn how to fly planes, hijack said planes, risk being taken down by any brave people on the planes, coordinate the planes to hit the towers, WHILE still rigging the buildings to go down, and WHILE knowing that even "laymen" (as you say) could see through the fact that these puny planes couldn't possibly take the towers down alone.
B) Wire the buildings to blow, and blame it on terrorists.
You tell me.
“In March 2001, after months of harassment and surveillance—including USDA agents spying on the family farm from nearby mountaintops—armed federal agents seized what they had identified as an iminent danger to the American people: a flock of 140 organically raised dairy sheep.” - Linda Fallace
At 5:00 AM on September 12, 2006, Cindi and Danny Henshaw were awakened by their local Virginia game warden, who arrested Danny on an apparently trumped up Class 2 Misdemeanor charge and took him from his Willis River Hunting preserve for supposedly, “operating a mammalian hunting enclosure without a permit.” Danny was released from custody in 2 hours and allowed to return to the farm where he and Cindi were controlled around the clock by armed guards from September 12th through September 22nd. - The Boar Wars
“We went to court with Danny on March 02, 2007 and once again I am totally disgusted with the justice system.
While we were talking to Norman, Dan’s Lawyer he pointed out the laws that were sited on the original warrant. ( there were several quoted on the original papers) and Norman found, after a great deal of study, there was no law at all that pertained to this case, especially how it was carried out with no notice or warning to correct the problem, if in fact one existed. Basically the bottom line is Danny was convicted on laws that do not even exist. SO MUCH FOR JUSTICE….” -Nonais.org
Islamberg is not as benign as a Buddhist monastery or a Carmelite convent. Nearly every weekend, neighbors hear sounds of gunfire. Some, including a combat veteran of the Vietnam War, have heard the bang of small explosives. None of the neighbors wished to be identified for fear of "retaliation." "We don't even dare to slow down when we drive by," one resident said. "They own the mountain and they know it and there is nothing we can do about it but move, and we can't even do that. Who wants to buy a property near that?" deathofnation.blogspot.com...

Building 7 sounds so far-fetched for many people because the repeated call of "fell in their footprint" repeated over and over until it became a "fact". The reality is that there was debris all over the immediate area including across the street that flatten an old church. Of course that church could have fallen just from the rumble of the ground, but it was covered in debris. Of course "fell in their footprint" is better than fell into other buildings causing a domino effect like from a cartoon or Rube Goldberg scene all over Manhatten. Reality shows bits in buildings all around the area...that seems to be glossed over rather quickly by the "fell in their footprint" crowd.

There is a principle in science called Occam's Razor. It goes something like this: the simplest explanation is most often the correction one. So again, I ask you, if there was a conspiracy, which option is the simplest?

All things being equal, do you really think it's easier to sneak into a building and rig it to demolish it or to hijack a plane and fly it into the building?
IMO, hijacking a plane would the simplest thing. Especially when considering what buildings we are talking about here.

Actually, Occam's Razor begins with "All things being equal". Just mentioning that you forgot to add that part.

Then you must answer your own question: how did they plant the bombs with all those dogs sniffing about?

Then you seem to support the mainstream view. Glad to hear it.

Are bomb sniffing dogs trained to detect thermobarics? Serious question as I'm having trouble finding the answer.
And if we say that the terrorists could have done that, then we get led to the questions of who exactly signed for their badges etc. Leaving a trail of people to follow.
If all perps die in the plane crash, then there's no people trail to follow.

About 85-95 % of it. Yes.

Thank you for clearing up what might have been confusing as I was typing without editing. Now if building 7's debris were to have flattened the church which was quite farther away from building 7 as building 7 is tall then there would be some proof of demolitions.
