Mock all you guys want in your elitism and wickedness.....

Fact is, Book of Mormon claims are only being confirmed by Science, not debunked as it should be if it's false.

1842 Science known compared to 2005.
Deny reality all you want, it's simply the truth.

By this you mean Kerry "Science" Shirts.

There's nothing elitist at all about acknowledging that what we placed our faith in does not stand up to scrutiny. In fact, there's not much more humbling than admitting we were wrong. I wish I was wrong about the church, but I'm not.

And of course you are going to provide support for your assertion by way of specific quotes and references...

Depends on who you talk to. Do non-LDS scientists agree with your "fact"?

Which branch of science supports the claim that skin tone is proportionate with righteousness?

I may just be a little dense, but I wonder how, in the 2005 graphic, steel swords can be confirmed while iron is unconfirmed.

Does steel not somehow imply iron?

Only ever so slightly...

Steel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Steel is an alloy that consists mostly of iron and has a carbon content between 0.2% and 2.1% by weight, depending on the grade. Carbon is the most common ...

What branch of science supports Semitic DNA in native Americans?
Must be the same branch that supports the claims of moderen horses and chariots in Pre-Columbus America.

Then again what LDS scientist even support the majority of these claims (Is mopologetics a science?)
It is better to be a warrior in a garden, than a gardener at war.

Some of us, on the other hand, actually prefer a religion that includes some type of correlation with reality.

Even if it wasn't steel, but a loan-shift word, the bigger problem is the description of smelting among the Jaredites and the Nephites, for which there is no evidence.
