I could acquire sources and citations if you would prefer as evidence for my argument.You realize that everything you just applied against mormons makes your book of choice look faker than a supermodel's cleavage.... right?
Well you KIND of have me blocked on your IM, Terg.
Please talk with me first if you're going to post more stuff like this - I'd really like to help you avoid embarrassing yourself any further. There are a lot of lies and mistruths about the LDS church out there, and it can be hard to tell the truth apart from the fiction.
I don't see how I'm embarressing myself, either.
...I thought this was the forum you avoided like the plague.
Dr. Hugh Nibley of Brigham Young University (who some Mormons feel is one of the greatest scholars in the Church) declares: "The Book of Mormon can and should be tested. It invites criticism." Tenth president Joseph Fielding Smith things that the evidence for it "internally and externally is overwhelming." Original Resource
Mau, I'm respectfully asking you to stop quoting things that aren't true. The "DNA proof" was done by taking samples from Jews in New York and comparing that to natives of South and Central America. It was a hoax to trick people into believing there was hardcore scientific evidence against the Book of Mormon. There is no way that after generations of intermixing with different peoples that a Jew in NY and Native Americans are going to have much in common genetically speaking.That's not necessarily true either, Terg. DNA evidence points toward the native americans being decended from Asia, not Africa or Europe. (I think Isreal was somewhere in between) Don't believe me? Then ask a Biological anthropoligist. Markers on the Y chromozone and Mitochondrial DNA define different "Haplogroups" that make up the human species, they're the main branches of the human genealogical "family tree." All four american haplogroups bear markers that tie them to Asia.
