For believing members of the church with a testimony there are certain certainties that come into play which add to the core testimony and belief in the restoration. Those that I've mentioned would be right up there on the top. Understandably, you and other critics of the restoration would look for and find insurmountable (your reasoning) holes in those certainties. [SNIP!]
