Sweet, CK. Thanks.

This is really interesting! I think we are onto something. The mind that is ready to accept gold plates and Kolob is surely credulous and nutty enough for Atlantis and the hollow earth.

This whole thread is making me laugh furiously.

I wouldn't believe it either but this guy used "MMM" in context as
"So called MMM"

Nope. He was canned. His crackpottery was too publicly embarrassing for BYU. It was about something people at large really care about. And we can't have that. Oh no. Tapirs as horses. Who cares about that? But the deaths of many innocent Americans...

Added John P. Pratt, the LDS astronomer, who takes a little too much interest in Uranus.

He was a very good teacher in the Physics department. I'm saddened that he's latched onto crap like the 9/11 conspiracy theories, but I'll always regard him as having been a good physics teacher, which was, after all, his job.
