Another thread suggested this should be its own discussion. I would like believers to have a discussion related to the following claims and how it is compatible with scientific claims.

For every genuine article there is a plethora of counterfeits. Berisheet+Gematria, Mazzaroth and astronomy are legit, but few find their way to the true path. The March 8 and 18 miracles show forth the saviors name in whose name evil cannot come.

Mormons have an arrogant belief that all those “magical” things, or other religious beliefs, are imitations of the real restored priesthood magic.

In some cases those imitations even come from Satan himself.
