Years ago, I asked a prominent non-LDS anthropologist to comment on Clark’s infamous 2005 BYU address. The anthropologist declined, saying he didn’t wish to comment on what he considered to be faith claims. Clark: Book of Mormon cities have been found, they are well known, and their artifacts grace...

How do you differentiate between that which is revelation and that which is from your own mind? That's the problem, there is no way to make such a differentiation. In fact it's been demonstrated empirically that LDS people can be made to feel the spirit via the manipulation of clinical researchers....

The moment you try to make an appeal to faith or miracles you've left the topic of historicity altogether - the same would apply if you tried to bring God into a conversati...

So, case closed. If you're positing some kind of miracle to explain it, you're not talking about historicity anyway. You're talking about religious faith. Faith and history are two separate disciplines. I realize that from your point of view religious faith involves circular reasoning. I won’t disa...

Nephi knows about people going to heaven and hell when they die, Satan, a suffering and divine messiah, salvation by faith - all things that are anachronistic to the 6th century BCE. Case closed. So you’re saying a prophet living in the pre Christian Era would not be plugged into knowledge of/from ...
