Look what the backassyard professor is spewing on Youtube

Post by _Boaz & Lidia »

He titles his videos, "Realistic Book of Mormon Evidences" and quite often places himself out doors with a backdrop of a wide open area for the poor quality video recording.

With that backdrop, you think he will show us some physical evidences.

However, as expected, he baits then switches and just repeats crap about linguistics or something else from his favorite mo'pologists that he sucks up to in the MA&D litterbox.

Ahhh, come on Boaz. You and I may not agree with his religious assumptions or his methodology, but cut Kerry some slack. He is a really good guy. Have you met Kerry before? If he wasn't living the word of wisdom, I think he'd be a hoot to have a beer with and chat it up while hanging out at a bar. He is really fun to talk to.

After reading for two years and everone talking about a "strawman" I think I finally figured out what one is. He says the people say the Bible has been proven true (who says that - the " I know this church is true crowd" and the Book of Mormon was proven false because there is no jewish- egypt connection. He says that when Babylon conqured that they took the jews back over the river - well, just the elites, the kings etc but they left people - where did the other jews go like Jeremiah - EGYPT. Who did the Jews try to get to help from and fight off the soldiers of babylon - EGYPT. Where did jews come back after they were released by Cyrus - Babylon and EGYPT. Where did Alexander take alot of jews when he went through palastine - Egypt - what did those jews speak begin to learn greek. He forgets that there was likely a whole minority of Egyptians in Palestine just like some people up north ended up in Carthage.

I like Kerry, but that background music/sound treatment needs to go.

Is Kerry the love child of Wilford Brimley, or is this just me?

Kerry Shirts is a great guy, I can't see how anyone would attack him. When I went to Provo a few years ago for the FAIR symposium (sp) he was the first person I met. He treated me like we were old friends and made me feel welcome. I now live in Idaho Falls, which is where Kerry lives, and he was happy to see me move up here. I've been over to his house (which is where this video was taken), he and his wife are wonderful people.

The background sounds are a little cheesy though. LOL

I'm not especially impressed with Kerry's apologetics, but he seems like a great guy.

This is what I think, and probably applies to most apologists (especially my dawg consigleri).
