There is no cog to turn, there is no possible falsification method, they will always be the way they are: r******d.
Yeah, the apologists will do that. But i'm talking about your lazy, average, joe schmo, peter priesthood - who would otherwise, not know about this issue. And if he reads this article, he may say to himself - wait, i thought all native americans came from lehi like joseph smith taught - wtf is going on here.
WK: "Joseph Smith asserted that the Book of Mormon peoples were the original inhabitants of the americas"

Still waiting for Will to back this up...
I think this article will actually do some good (from the evil apostate perspective). It may open peoples eyes to the ludicrousness of the traditional hemispheric theory - and get the ole' cogs in the brain turning. In other words, it might be a 'wtf moment' for the lazy TBM (props to BC).
I never said TBM apologists couldn't be lazy. I did say that antiMormon critics always commit lazy research in their criticism of the LDS Church in one way or another.
How do you figure?
Because that's where the DNA was found.
How do you know other evidence won't be found elsewhere?

I also don't know that evidence of gnomes, elves, or goblins won't be found elsewhere, either. . . but I see little point in holding my breath. How about you?
"Finally, for your rather strange idea that miracles are somehow linked to the amount of gay sexual gratification that is taking place would require that primitive Christianity was launched by gay sex, would it not?"

So much for your list of "So much's".

Non sequitur as we are speaking of things we know for sure have a possibility of existing as per your admission above.

What a sad sight to see that this is the sort of logic you have to rely on. I'd stick with Gaz's the only way to know the church is true is the Holy Ghost.

Heres the thing. I think the average Mormon does not put themselves in a situation where they would expose themselves to such information. If they are put in said situation their mind simply does not allow them to "see" the structure of the concepts that conflict with their sad obscure worldview.
Its like a blindspot. They CAN'T see it. Apologists are closer to the realisation that its a fraud based on this model because they can grasp the matter better otherwise they would not be trying to justify silly beliefs with silly explanations. Make sense?
