I searched around to see if he’d done anything on Noah’s Ark which was built in the same way as the Jaredite’s ships, but he didn’t.

Here’s a link to the atheist page on which his analysis is listed: http://packham.n4m.org/

He rips into Jesus and the Bible pretty hard as well.

He also has a rather interesting discussion as to whether Mormon’s are Christian: http://packham.n4m.org/lds-xian.htm

Last time I checked, Noah's Ark was not a submarine barge. And it is my understanding that people have build replicas of the ark and these boats float. That can't be said for Joseph Smith's Jaredite vessels.

Packham came out of Mormonism and became an atheist. It is my understanding that, unfortunately, the same is true for the majority of those who leave the cult.

Last time I checked (admittedly a few years ago), his site contained arguments that were debunked decades ago. Christian apologists such as Lee Strobel and Josh McDowell have written extensively on the topic and are worth checking into before you or anyone else make a final decision.

Noah's ark was not built in the same fashion as the Jeridite ships...

Nor did it have magical light for days rocks...

So? I know Packham is an atheist and an ex-mormon, but this article was written by Kent Ponder, Ph.D. However, I know several atheist archeologists who admit there is a material culture for Israel (we know where Jericho and many other cities are) and even the historical Jesus regardless of how they may view Him.

However, there are NO non-LDS archeologists who give ANY support or even hint that there is any evidence for ANYTHING in the Book of Mormon. It is classified as ‘pseudo-archeology’ - like Aliens and Atlantis.

Atlantean archeology has more credibility in professional circles than Book of Mormon archeology.

If you want to have some fun, go to an AIA conference and ask about Book of Mormon archeology. You will be laughed out of the room. It is like taking EA Wallis Budge seriously.
