Your juvenile retort made the dolt meter spike on my computer. Congratulations.
Thanks, -Wade Englund-
What kind of person installs a dolt meter on his computer? Is that to help with self-discipline?

I can say "straw man."

That's really great, Wade. I bet your mommy is really proud of you!

So, you managed to be both doltish and borish in the same thread. Seems you are well on your way to becoming entirely socially repelling, if not already. But, I don't wish to find out. Bye.

So, in summary, we have an unnamed lecturer referencing an unavailable source, stating that the current depiction of facsimile 1 in the LDS scriptures is wrong (keep in mind that if the lecturer is employed by CES then it's your tithing funds that pay his wages...).
Erm, haven't people been telling Mormons that facsimilie 1 is wrong for years?
Let's see how long it is before the Church listens to this chap and corrects the error.

It doesn't take an Egyptologist to know that the published Facsimiles in the scriptures have never contained a figure with a jackal head instead of a human head.
Nibley would roll over in his grave at the suggestion. He was convinced that the original papyrus had a human head.

You will need to direct your statement to whomever thinks this thread needs an Egyptologist. That wouldn't be me.
