Re: How Kennewick Man has Impaled Rodney Meldrum’s Heartland Scam

Thank you Simon. I appreciate your work in doing this. Thanks Tapirrider. I think the scientists who worked on Kennewick Man were pretty jaded by the experience, well before David Read came along. They copped a lot of heat in the press at the time when the arguments over access to the bones were at...

How Kennewick Man has Impaled Rodney Meldrum’s Heartland Scam

I was contacted recently by Boyd Tuttle, the owner of Digital Legends Press, the main publisher of Rodney Meldrum’s Heartland propaganda. He wanted to know my response to claims made in a new book he is publishing, written by David Read, called Face of a Nephite . In his book, Read attempts to discr...

Re: Death of Tom Kimball

I had a pretty restless night's sleep. This really has rocked me, as I am sure it has many of you. I knew Tom pretty well from the time he worked at Signature Books. He was my publicist and took me on a road trip through Utah. He served his mission in Australia so we had more of a connection than ex...

Re: Death of Tom Kimball

This is terribly sad news. I got to know Tom at Signature and on a road trip through Utah. I was fortunate to only experience goodness.

Re: Kwaku El - the Young/Dumb state of Mormon apologetics

Even reported in the BYU Universe. Will there be any disciplinary action? I very much doubt it.

Re: Kerry Muhlestein Does Video Response to Robert Ritner

He still has a bet each way. He is desperately hanging onto both the missing scroll and catalyst theories. Gotta keep that paycheck coming in.

Re: Mormon apologetics meets Social Media

Simon: You may want to italicize the names of the journals. It may seem like a small detail (which it is), but you know who you're dealing with, right? Second, Peterson was not "fired" from the Review in 2014--it happened in June of 2012. And if memory serves, the name of the journal was officially...

Re: Mormon apologetics meets Social Media

(Dr. Shades here, using our "Temp. Admin." account.) Simon: If you'd like to take Physics Guy's advice but make minimal changes, why not simply change the subtitle to "The Impact of the Internet on the Historical Claims of Mormon Scripture ?" Excellent article, by the way! Dr Shades, this crossed m...

Re: Mormon apologetics meets Social Media

This seems like a timely essay that might become a landmark. I think it has a weakness in its current version, though. It bills itself as being about the impact of social media, both in the title and in the introduction, but most of the body of the essay seems just to be about the persistent failur...

Re: Mormon apologetics meets Social Media

I have a feeling Nibley wouldn’t have fared well at all. Especially with Dr. Scratch publicly scrutinizing and challenging his scholarship. Thanks Everybody Wang Chung, I recently took a close look at No Ma'am That's Not History. In addition to his criticism of her use of parallelomania ( :lol: :lo...
