Re: Here's why the decreasing fertility rate in the US is a concern

If secular people had more children, the percentage of religious people (including Mormons) would have been reduced to an insignificant percentage that wouldn't affect the lives of most people. So, you think that secular people having, say, 1% more children would magically wash away the religious p...

Re: Lars Nielsen's "How the Book of Mormon Came to Pass"

How can you have read that book but still make the rookie mistake of conflating the rough draft found in the trunk with the finished Manuscript Found ? How can you make silly assumptions? It wasn't a silly assumption. You said that "the Book of Mormon bears a generic and rough narrative resemblance...

Re: God was Sorry

If you believe the Book of Mormon then you have to believe they did. Limhi’s people encountered their remains, Coriantumr found the Mulekites and lived with them for nine months, etc. No Jaredites in the Americas, no Book of Mormon. Why do I have to believe that? It's not even established that they...

Re: God was Sorry

No, the Jaredite barges were not space ships. If they were, why did they land in the Americas? You have the evidence that they landed in the Americas? If you believe the Book of Mormon then you have to believe they did. Limhi’s people encountered their remains, Coriantumr found the Mulekites and li...

Re: Lars Nielsen's "How the Book of Mormon Came to Pass"

No, the Spalding-Rigdon connection hasn’t been debunked. Just because the Mopologists have declared it so doesn’t mean they’re correct. It remains the most valid explanation for the origin of the Book of Mormon. The only problem with it is a lack of evidence supporting it. The mountain of evidence ...

Re: Lars Nielsen's "How the Book of Mormon Came to Pass"

Nielson has built his entire theory on the Spalding - Rigdon connection, which has been so thoroughly debunked that I can't personally get past anything else. No, the Spalding-Rigdon connection hasn’t been debunked. Just because the Mopologists have declared it so doesn’t mean they’re correct. It r...
