New evidence for the Book of Mormon I had never heard before

Wait a minute. Reindeer are real?

Yep, not elves, though.

A llama and a camel can interbreed. The Book of Mormon does not mention camels or llamas. However, the lack of evidence that the Nephites brought them here does not eliminate the fact that they did.

A cama is a hybrid between a male dromedary camel and a female llama, produced via artificial insemination at the Camel Reproduction Centre in Dubai.The first cama was born on January 14, 1998. The aim was to create an animal with the size and strength of the camel, but the more cooperative temperament and the higher wool production of the llama (wikipedia)

Not great pets though. I would think twice before asking Santa.

Dwarf woolly mammoths persisted until about 3,700 years ago on Wrangel Island in the Arctic Ocean. http://news.yahoo.com/mammoths-wiped-mu ... 11751.html

This is within the time period of the Book of Ether---the only part of the Book of Mormon that mentions elephants.

Elephants and woolly mammoths both had long noses. A tapir has a pretty long nose. Thus the elephants and woolly mammoths are no doubt part of the tapir's family tree, and thus prove the Book of Mormon true.

Furthermore, the long noses would also indicate a Mediterranean connection.

So what? It is still evidence for the Book of Mormon no matter what you say. Hardened apologists won't let you take this away from them with alleged petrified wood and alleged species differences between Israeli and Oregonian trees. Weak as it may seem to your empty soul, it is still evidence, and if you can't admit such then it says more about you than it does the Book of Mormon.

I was actually dealt this type of counter argument over on the FAIR board back in the day. Something to do with the NHM altar, Bill Hamblin, and "statistics" if I remember correctly.

These are two totally different plants. Not even the same family, let alone, the same genus or species. Just more common name confusion...

As Elijah and Elias.
