As there is not documentary evidence that Joseph Smith ever thought the hypocephalus was the source of the Book of Abraham, and no documentary evidence that the KEP were working tools or a template of some kind that was being used to make direct translations from Egyptian to the English language of the Book of Abraham text, from the Sensen text or anywhere else, your entire point is rather lost in the woods.

No doubt the Book of Breathings we have is closely connected to the Book of Abraham, but there is no evidence that it was the source of the Book of Abraham.


Jesus H. Christ! Someone slit my throat and end it all. I can't bear this kind of stupid talk anymore. This place is soooooo sick.

Good God, Droopy -- how can you live with yourself!! Jesus Christ! What the hell is wrong with you? God O mighty!

Is there a doctor in the house? Droopy needs help.

Hey CaliforniaKid, wanna have a little fun at William's expense?

Simply accept his challenge, under the caveat that you'll only do it here on this message board where he can't delete responses, close threads, ban people, and otherwise artificially make himself look good.

It brings a smile to my face just thinking about his probable reaction.

Excellent idea. 10 bucks Schryver will throw a tantrum and then hide:

I was thinking the exact same thing.
It could be set that only Will and Chris are allowed to post (but everyone else can read) and that they have to take turns in posting.

In fact, we could have a regular 'debate challenge' thread.

Will?

Amen. Don't waste your time debating with William. It isn't worth it. Anything else you do will net greater benefits for you.

William is an apostate troll that hasn't managed to climb out from under the bridge, yet. But when he does, look out! He is going to be mighty pissed.

And given Will's poor reputation and lack of credibility and lack of any published work, it would be like Lawrence Krauss agreeing to debate Kirk Cameron. Will's entire fan-base consists of Wade England and Droopy. Think about that for a moment.

That is actually quite do-able. Shades..the administrator panel allows you to create new forums. You could create a special forum dedicated labeled Will and Chris Debate, and set the forum so that all members could view, but only give Will and Chris the ability to post within that forum.
