Ben,
you are COMPLETELY, FACTUALLY WRONG on all accounts, regarding 9/11 controlled demolition. This makes you a very good propagandist and your arguments a target of being called ridiculous.
Quoting you:
"I have done some research on the topic, but stopped fairly quickly into when it dawned on me that:"
----> what research have you done?
"1. Any alternative to the official account of what happened is so absurd it simply cannot be true."
----> what kind of factual, scientific, logical argument is this?? ...
start, and stick with facts. leave what "seems absurd" to you aside. ....
The truth about 9/11 is very serious, mind boggling, and yes - unbelievable, and will have very wide reaching and grave consequences for the country. ..
It is psychologically very difficult to admit you have been completely deceived, and to look impartially on the evidence.. .... so you call it "absurd" .. well maybe it is absurd, to you, you are young, and you, and nobody was and is prepared for grave events such as this to pass. ....
But the question also might be, why do you consider the true, factual "alternative" account absurd?
"2. No reputable scientific journal has ever taken any of the 'science' of the conspiracy seriously."
----> you are 100% wrong.
By now, there is serious, scientific, peer reviewed, irrefutable, conclusive evidence of the presence of high explosive nanothermite in the pyroclastic dust of 9/11 WTC.
The journal is The Open Chemical Physics Journal, at http://www.bentham.org/open/tocpj/openaccess2.htm

"3. The evidence supporting the official story is overwhelming, whereas the 9/11 Truthers have yet to produce a shred of concrete evidence that members of the U.S. government planned the attacks in New York and Washington."
----> What evidence are you talking about?
Pancake theory has been disproved as impossible. Explosions, implosion, pyroclastic cloud, entire pulverization of both buildings is not even mentioned in the official story.
Official story says "Collapse of WTC7 has not been dealt or looked into" ... What kind of "supporting evidence" is that??
Also, have you seen the footage?
Both buildings WTC exploding, collapsing in their footprint, with the speed of close to free fall, imploding with the speed of 10 floors per second into a cloud of pyroclastic dust??... and all this caused by office fires? .... - now talk about "absurd" ... those buildings were designed specifically to withstand the impact of airliners.
Building WTC 7 collapsing, imploding into a classic controlled demolition, never hit by any airplane, with only modest fires burning inside. It has been "pulled", as Larry Silverstein said on TV. But who, when and how set the explosives? - That is the goal for a new investigation.
Let me remind you that the widest, far reaching strategic, political and social consequences of the truth about 9/11events for the country are still better, more acceptable, more beneficial - and a source of future strength for the country - than to live with lies, covered truth and all the risks it involves.
The consequences of accepting the truth, the facts about 9/11 will bring the downfall of empire. .. Yes, but that "bad" empire, of war, of aggression, of lies, of serving narrow self, or foreign interests.
That "good" empire, American empire of peace, justice, progress and friendship will on, strengthened.
Because, the repetition, in one form or the other, of "attacks", is the biggest risk of not revealing learning, understanding and accepting the truth.
