Yes, thanks to Nevo and DrW. I figured the chances were small, but I had no idea how infinitesimally small.

no facts wrote:And around and around the anti-Mormon goes. Circular logic.

Actually, here's an example of circular logic.

no facts wrote:Your standard of truth and fact and judging it is very low. You see the word "UFO", and you automatically judge "crackpot". Also, given that his work in Arabia has been excellent AND FACTUALLY TRUE.....

You cite his work on NHM as qualifying Aston as a scholar, despite his work on UFOs. Yet at the beginning of the thread, you cited Aston's credibility as an accomplished scholar to justify his work on NHM.

Oh, Dean Robbers, your pedagogical patience knows no bounds!

These images have appeared before on this board and underscore what Nevo posted regarding the difficulties of traveling through, and working in, wadis and especially from the inland end.

That's sissy stuff:

Great, RockSlider.

If this image is of the upland end of an Omani wadi, it would be interesting to know which one.

Hole in the Rock, crazy bastards took horse/wagon down that slot, and that's main channel lake powell, what another couple hundred feet down. God + Prophet == crazy stuff

Thanks Dr. W. That was a fascinating lesson.

Unlike DrW..... Potter, Wellington, and many other LDS researchers and scholars have went and specifically looked, lived, and traveled Arabia to see what does or does not fit the Book of Mormon.

DrW has just been there and "declares"..... "nothing exists to support the Book of Mormon".
LOL, the "standard" of your all's "facts" and "scholarship" is a joke.

You all read Potter and Wellington's book and learn something for a change instead of being the normal and ignorant bigots you are.
These people spent years there researching, meeting with the people, traveling the areas, etc.
DrW has done nothing.

*have gone*

Anyway, you were saying something about people who aren't you needing to read more books.

I agree - that was fascinating!
