Re: Connecting Some Apologetic Dots
How many living Egyptologists around the world are there? Is it conceivable that enough Mormon Egyptologists could infiltrate Egyptology to unite Egyptology and Mopologetics? I assume this question is somewhat tongue-in-cheek, but to take it seriously for a moment: I once heard that there are about...

Re: Skousen: creative and cultural translation
Everything assumed to be history could have been written as detailed fiction... Except, as Kishkumen and Symmachus said here years ago, ancient writers didn't think like modern historical novelists. For one thing, the conception of massive cultural change over time is not something that existed as ...

Re: Kiwi57 tells a story
I'm a noob. I'd be interested to hear the history of this board, from somebody who doesn't think it's an invention of Satan.

Re: Lucy on the Struggle for the Plates
This really got me thinking, Reverend, that perhaps we ought to be more sympathetic to the perpetrators of the restoration. I think of how easy it is in these days to find entertainment and the relatively small amount of work required to provide all of these options. If things weren't so easy, and ...

Re: Atlantis More Probable Than Book of Mormon Nephites - Seriously
Graham Hancock is… well, let's just say the Egyptological community doesn't think very highly of him. Or the archaeological community in general. The main difference between Hancock and Mormon apologists, from an Egyptologist's point of view, is that the apologists are so utterly insignificant that ...

Re: Question for mentalgymnast
Well, here are some criteria that can help you narrow it down. For the Book of Mormon peoples to have existed as described, they must have settled in a hospitable region hundreds of miles wide that had no Native American inhabitants, without any Native Americans migrating in nor any Book of Mormon p...

Re: Hebraicisms, Chiasmus Ancient Authorship in Green Eggs &
The major numero uno assumption to be made is whether or not there is a creator God, of course. A person has to get past/through that before going/moving onto any other assumptions. Nope. Literally billions of people believe in a creator god. The vast majority of them are unaware of the Book of Mor...

Re: Hebraicisms, Chiasmus Ancient Authorship in Green Eggs &
You still haven't addressed Honorentheos' point about parsimony. The assumptions needed to render the Book of Mormon narrative plausible — not even genuine, but plausible — are myriad.

Re: Hebraicisms, Chiasmus Ancient Authorship in Green Eggs &
You've been shown that chiasmus appears in non-Hebrew works including works of the time period the Book of Mormon was published. You've been shown the entire narrative premise of the Book of Mormon is based on a mistaken and racially prejudiced idea the "Red Man" American Indians were sav...
