To be honest, I would disagree with most of that. However, I realize that this is basically now a debate over the meaning of the word "revelatory," which is fundamentally undecidable, and therefore not very enlightening. The claim, or assumption, has been that Joseph Smith translated from...

Equality, Chris Smith has given an honest and accurate summary of the critical based on the KP and how this affects it on the "secular translation" thread: The traditional "anti-Mormon" objection to the KP incident has been that if Joseph translated a portion of the KP by revela...

Is it correct that Don's "bull's eye" (the character on the KP also being found among the KEP) requires that the elements of the KP character have to be deconstructed from the assembly in which they appear on the KP as a character, in order for the 'match' to be made? How distinctive are t...

Does Don's thesis suppose that the GAEL was not inspired by God and was an 'off the plan' endeavor to which Joseph Smith, Jr. and his scribes spent countless hours while living off of the contributions of hard labouring Saints?

Are the apologists at FAIR and NMI now in day three of wiping the egg off of their face for having for years doubted even disparaged Clayton and the accuracy of his journal entry, Clayton a confidante and scribe trusted by Joseph Smith, Jr.? Is the silence by those apologists as thundering and deafe...

What character in the GAEL translates as an identification of a great Nephi warrior that descended from Ham? What part of the Book of Abraham talks about a great Nephi warrior descended from Ham?

Apparently, Don discovered that a symbol on the Kinderhook plates matched a symbol that was on the Grammar and Alphabet of the Egyptian Language (GAEL) documents that Joseph Smith and/or his cohorts had produced. Wait, how did a symbol from the GAEL get on the Kinderhook Plates? Or did a symbol fro...

Dr. Peterson, does "soaking" (coitus interruptus) carry a different sin denotation (and punishment) in Mormon theology/penitence than if there was ejaculation by the male while in the vagina? Once there is penetration of the vagina, that is enough for coitus for rape. Is it different for M...
