I appreciate your criticism and I do strive to be as accurate as possible. But I make mistakes just like anyone else. I think the main point that I was trying to make is that IF archeological evidence exists for the Book of Mormon, then there would be a lot of it.

It's not an area of Mormonism that I care to invest a lot of time and research. Even if it does remotely give credit to the Book of Mormon, there is no way it can overrule the multitude of evidence the other way.Mormon411https://www.blogger.com/profile/04113317471178740266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6889091745815151535.post-46585722773529337772010-12-09T18:06:43.988-07:002010-12-09T18:06:43.988-07:00The question remains: If the stone is from the Mid...The question remains: If the stone is from the Middle East, how on earth did it end up in Salt Lake City.
