I love Utter Nonsense's comments.
Only in Utah would you find a newspaper printing sermons (because that's what that article is), and it's not even Sunday!

This was definitely my favorite part of the article:
R. Scott Lloyd wrote:Criddle is a civil engineer and a contributor to an Internet message board for ex-Mormons.

so what I don't get but it seems typical of "defenders" is that rather than proving something wrong, the "LDS defender" just starts a mud slinging contest.
Perhaps the person from FAIR should run the analysis with Joseph Smith included. Otherwise, mudslinging is mudslinging, and not worth anything.

Are you seriously accusing Scott Lloyd of mudslinging? Seriously?

He's the author of the article. (I was being facetious)

ahhh, got it.
I was referring to fields. if fields, the statistician, can not prove the others flaws with a Joseph Smith analysis, then fields should just shut up.
Seriously, prove someone wrong with the numbers. don't use mudslinging.

You actually expect Fields to engage the paper? What rock have you been living under?

What
authenticated writings of Joseph Smith would you suggest FAIR or anyone else use to run the analysis with?
