meso American archeology, we must be doing it wrong

Post by _SteelHead »

Archeologist can find the remains of a 2k year old burnt chariot in england, but no wheel for transportation has yet to be found in pre Columbian America.

Funny that.

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

There are only two possible explanations.

1. God removed all evidence of the Book of Mormon to enhance our understanding of the value of faith.

2. Satan removed all evidence of the Book of Mormon to confuse the minds of men.

OK, maybe three.

3. The Book of Mormon is not true.

Hmmm, someone let me know when we finally find either a: chariot, steel sword, ontis, battle sites with hundreds of thousands dead in one spot, or a city buried in the sea somewhere in North America.

I find it hard to believe a book that claims to be the most correct with next to no physical evidence to back up it's historical side. I believed it for so long, but they can't even find one lousy steel sword here (from a civilization that numbered in the millions, but yet we have evidence of a failed Viking colony of maybe 200). God must be a trickster, taking away all the evidence that could prove Him correct and make us believe His prophets.

Yep, if the book were true, farmers around Hill Comorah in New York would be turning up swords, chariots, breast plates, skulls and helmets every spring when they plowed their fields.

There are hundreds of scientific reasons for the book to not be true and no scientific reasons for it to be true.

Well at least we know what a chariot looks like, maybe they can find a sword so we can know what a sword looks like.
