Surprise! Saturn has a small moon hidden in it's ring

Post by _The Dude »

PASADENA, Calif. – Scientists have found a new moon hidden in one of Saturn's dazzling outer rings. The international Cassini spacecraft spotted the moon, which measures about a third of a mile wide. The discovery was announced Tuesday in a notice by the International Astronomical Union.


Oops! Looks like science is still discovering things. It's not a closed book like anti-mormons would have you believe when they say there's no such thing as an ancient Israelite civilization in America. The same critics would have said there's no such thing as a small moon hidden in Saturn's ring. "Oops!" they must be saying now, smacking themselves in the forehead. "Doh!"

Anyone can see the trend here: it is only a matter of time until scientists find evidence that the entire Book of Mormon history (including elephants, horses, and legions of scimitar-wielding Nephites) took place in a limited area measuring a third of a mile wild. Yes evidence, but not "proof", since that would remove the need for faith and screw up the eventual B-grade salvation of millions who are currently protected by the plausible deniability of Book of Mormon historicity.

Are they ever going to find any evidence, that the cureloms and cumoms ever existed in Ancient America?

Oh, they already have evidence for the C&C problem in their museums like the Smithsonian but they have not identified it as such. Plausible deniability truly is the key to the great plan of salvation.

Dude, if you were up on current findings (most of it yet to be published) all of these things have already been proven. It is just like the antis bringing up these old chestnuts that FARMS dealt with years ago.

If D&D has taught me anything it is that only druids wield scimitars. There are no druids in the Book of Mormon, ergo, no scimitars. My logic is undeniable.

Perhaps the Book of Mormon took place on that small moon.

Wow Dude, you must be a sockpuppet of the one-time MAD poster who went by "YH8".

Don't touch cureloms and cumoms with dirty hands!
They are useful unto man.

Ether 9:19 wrote:And they also had horses, and asses, and there were elephants and cureloms and cumoms; all of which were useful unto man, and more especially the elephants and cureloms and cumoms.

You know, they are things which are true but not useful. (Copyright BKP)

Cureloms and cumoms are useful but not true.
