From the video:

I knew [that] the Book of Mormon is true, so...


Not the best way to start a scholarly investigation. :rolleyes:

That "moron" is actually a decent fellow, in my view. He hosted a showing of a movie about these issues, and I attended. He was kind enough to answer several of my questions, which I wrote about at:

Please simon s, I hope you can weigh in on this-meldrum is saying that 2003 dna among Algonquin Indians traces back to jews in Jerusalem and he is pitching this like crazy to keep Mormons in the fold and boost his heartland model.

can you give us a little on what the flaws are in meldrum's discussion-he claims peer reviewed articles are out there backing up his talking.
what can be shown to prove he is wrong?

thanx

The connection between the Algonquin and Jews goes back to the 1920 NYC literary elite, and is well-established.

Meldrum is talking about the X2a lineage which is not Jewish at all. In the interview he chose not to say X lineage because I suspect he has seen some of the criticism of his X lineage claims. I have addressed Meldrum's claims on my blog.

I think Simon is keeping an eye on us. This is a very good thing! Dr. Southerton's posts are always great to read.
