Borrowing from the Bible and a teaching given just prior in Mormon found its way into the Jaredite barge narrative:
"they were tossed upon the waves of the sea before the wind"
Matt14:24 wrote:But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary
Mormon 5:18 wrote:as a vessel is tossed about upon the waves, without sail or anchor
The impossible Jaredite voyage expressed from the imagination of Joseph Smith will never be met with scientific approval from nonMormon specialists who are flatly able to prove the narrative is bogus and utter nonsense:
- they were many times buried in the depths of the sea, because of the mountain waves which broke upon them
- they were buried in the deep
- bring them forth again upon the top of the waters
Dr. W is one such specialist who is able to dismiss the Jaredite voyage as a physical impossibility in which Joseph Smith was unable to properly comprehend when he told his whale of a tale sailor story. Imagine
mountain waves crashing upon primitive made barges while being tossed about on the open sea! The story is ridiculous. Imagine barges being submerged or
buried in the deep and then floating upward above the water line!
The story is preposterous and anyone who believes it really happened is a retard with half a brain.
Mormon apologists are just stupid.
