When the Bible doesn’t jive with their trained notions, they turn to outside sources to justify their continued beliefs in non-Biblical doctrines.

Do not your words above exactly describe mormonism?

All addressed at the links provided. All old and tired non-issues. Addressed many times over many years. What’s the deal do you not want them looking for themselves?

Whats the deal, you don't like the truth being exposed? I guess if the bom is true, it doesn't matter if it occured in Timbuktwo then eh PD - oh wait, the smith was full of himself when he gave the story of Zelph. And that would make for two hill cumorahs - but the GA has made it clear there is only one hill cumorah. And byu has wasted millions in trying NOT to find the bom lands in central america.

Seekers of Truth - why won't PD answer simple questions? Horses, chariots, other anachronisms in the bom? He calls them "old and tired" - are they? If so why arent they answered definatively by his links.

FARMS/Maxwell states that horses written in the bom were probably tapirs (Bennett, "Horses in the book of mormon")

FAIR believes horses were either deer, or tapirs - but admit horses were not present at the time and suggests that the 'reformed eqyptian' failed to have a word for 'horse' - as highly unlikely as that would be given that both the egyptians and israelies had horses and not tapirs.

Lindsey links to a paper pulling from discredited pseudo archaeology for evidences of horses as well as going back to cave paintings 7000 bc before horses became extinct. Then he has to go back to the riding of deer and tapir.

Seekers of truth everywhere can see the grasping at straws here from just three of these links. No wonder PD doesn't specifically cite links - just let you wander around aimlessly.

A horse is a horse to egyptians and jews, but a tapir to nephites

Great links, great laughs and poor science and excuses. And great unanswered questions

If the horse did exist in Mesoamerica during Book of Mormon times, then not a single bone or tooth from any of these horses has ever been discovered, despite the fact that the remains of an abundance of other animals have been discovered in Mesoamerica

If horses existed in ancient Mesoamerica during the Book of Mormon time period, then despite the fact that ancient Mesoamericans depicted many animals in art and ideology, they never depicted a horse or included the horse in any of their mythology

If the horse existed in Mesoamerica since Jaredite times, then it left no trace of the sort of social evolutionary impact that we see in other cultures that possessed the horse

If the Book of Mormon “horse” is really a tapir, then tapirs were domesticated only by one small group of people, never to be replicated by anyone else, despite sharing characteristics that disqualify large mammals from domestication

Answers to the salient points are not answered in pd's links, and I dare him to show otherwise.

My, thats a white and delightsome tapir you are riding.

Seekers of truth -

Mormon apologist Michael Ash writes here

http://www.mormontimes.com/article/19534/True-scholarship-vs-wishful-thinking

Regarding where the events listed in bom occured, Ash states that there is no bom geography.

The vikings visited a remote (limited geography) location of icy Canada and left lab-fulls of trace evidence. Smith’s Nephite population claimed to spread righteously, industriously, peacefully and prosperously from sea to sea over the face of the whole land leaves nothing except a wore out apologetic excuse for the absence of evidence.

WHY do the following verses make PD doubt his choice even more?


1 Timothy 4

 1 The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. 2 Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. 3 They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth. 4 For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, 5 because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer.

"My, thats a white and delightsome tapir you are riding."

A mutant one as well...

tapir , nocturnal, herbivorous mammal, genus Tapirus, of the jungles of Central and South America and SE Asia. The tapir is somewhat piglike in appearance; however, it is not related to the pig, but to the horse and the rhinoceros, with which it forms the order of odd-toed hoofed mammals.

Size varies between types, but most tapirs are about 2 metres (7 ft) long, stand about a metre (3 ft) high at the shoulder, and weigh between 150 and 300 kg (330 to 700 lb). The Asian tapir, Tapirus indicus, of Malaya and Sumatra, is black with a white saddle extending over the rump. The adult is about 3 ft (90 cm) high at the shoulder and 6 to 8 ft (180-240 cm) long; it weighs about 400 lb (180 kg).
