Because they've found f&@£ all there in terms of evidence despite digging it full of more holes than a Swiss cheese.

I'm honestly not sure why that's a problem. After all, they've found zero evidence of any middle-eastern immigrants in MesoAmerica.

I believe it is there. I have detailed reasons, but I disagree with the limited stuff FAIR pumps out.

Course at least my views don't require two Hills or any of the other stuff.

Please post your reasons, Mr. Jskains.

To be fair, not requiring two hills immediately puts his theory head and shoulders above most of the others!

I don't believe the place was vacant of people, and I don't believe that every Native American requires direct DNA ancestry. I believe that adoption and political position became important. I don't believe that the plates would have been dragged all the way up to New York just cause without some mention of it in the Book of Mormon.

Just my belief.

I don't know the exact landing place. But I also don't have a good diagram that shows where in the desert Moses ran around so we can find the evidence of his massive crew. *Shrug*
