The first paragraph:

A biochemical analysis of a rare Clovis-era stone tool cache recently unearthed in the city limits of Boulder, Colo., indicates some of the implements were used to butcher ice-age camels and horses that roamed North America until their extinction about 13,000 years ago, according to a University of Colorado at Boulder study.

Who has ever argued this? We all agree that horses existed until about 13,000 years ago... which is exactly what the article says.

Gaz, I'm confused as to your point? This seems to re-affirm that there were no horses during Book of Mormon times.

My only point is that horse DNA is found buried up in a place people have said there were no horses and therefore the Book of Mormon is false.

Nobody ever said that there were no horses in the Americas. The point is that there weren't any horses in the Americas when Lehi arrived.

Odd that the science that tells us this is horse DNA is so much more trustworthy than the science that tells us how old it is.

Stick to trying to be nice, Gaz, and posting faith-promoting images.

Your apologetics sucks.

The only thing I'd like clarified from you is this: If one of your children turned out to be Gay, what would you do?
