  • There were no horses in America after the end of the ice age, until the arrival of Europeans after Columbus. DNA studies of horses are supporting the historical and archaeological record. One example of the peer reviewed professional journal studies is "Iberian Origins of New World Horse Breeds" in the Oxford Journals, vol 97, issue 2, pp 107 - 113.

    Claims that horses have been proven to be in America before Columbus are without merit. No professional journal of science supports those claims.

  • LDS members who watch this video need to know that the statement of a horse in the upper Midwest at the time of Christ is wrong. The horse skull had been identified in 1964 as a hoax. Radiocarbon dating of the skull was published in 2004. It dated to the time of the hoax, not the time of Christ. The video was made after 2004, after the facts about that horse skull had been published. The video mention of a horse in the upper Midwest is in reference to a known hoax.

  • Wow. I don't believe I've ever seen so many comments that are so blatantly guilty of committing the ad hominem fallacy in my life.

  • When I watch these two guys I can't help but wonder... how can people be so fucking stupid? Seriously... how can people who are reasonably intelligent come to such irrational conclusions? It is a puzzle to me. Is it just because they are trying to look for facts that support some kind of preconceived idea? It's sad.

  • This is utterly ridiculous, when you have to shoe horn the facts into fitting, then you're probably on the wrong track.

  • Comment removed

  • Science is never a "done deal" There have been thousands of horse remains in america, however none dated are pre-Columbian to 10,000 bfp. Strata, especially in caves is easily disinterred due to animal behaviors and caves being a natural shelter for animal. But look it's not just horses or elephants, its, swords, armor, cattle, domestic sheep, the geography, the battlefields, the cultures, the religious remains there is little to nothing. Don't give up, but be realistic about what you find.

  • These two asshats are just trying to bullshit as long as possible hoping for a church calling that pays a living stipend. Greedy fuckers.

  • This video clip proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that you truly can not fix stupid! so if I were mormon i would stand and say...I testify that I feel that the holy ghost (Casper) has revealed to me by a vision that this video is real...i can feel it, i can feel i, ti can feel it, i can feel it, i can feel it,i can feel it, i can feel it! oops! I made a mess in my pant's!!

  • @buzzbbird There is a study that is being written write now which includes several horse bones that carbon date to Book of Mormon time periods. These were found by non-LDS archaeologists, and carbon dated by non-LDS.

  • @fairldsorg What is the name of the study? How can I read it?

  • @justafrinian It hasn't been published yet, but you can read the preliminary finds in a lecture he gave at the FAIR conference a few years ago called "Science and The Book of Mormon" by Wade Miller. He also has a book by that same name.

  • so far no evidence! JUST LEAVE IT AT THAT

  • The book of mormon is true people. God will never let you conclusively prove or disprove its authenticity through science. Eventually, you will have to rely on Moroni's promise and the spirity of the Lord to dicern its truthfulness.

    By the way, there is now evidence that recent DNA studies now actually may support the history of the BOM. There are many mormon and non-mormon DNA scientists that have posted peer-reviewed journal articles since 2003

  • @Steedlaw

    "Eventually, you will have to rely on Moroni's promise and the spirity of the Lord to dicern its truthfulness."

    So what happens when I pray and get no answer? Does that demonstrably falsify your faith?

  • @Steedlaw Why won't he prove his existence through evidence? In fact, why would he purposefully convoiude the issue - especially if he is all good. Is a perfect God who has no sin, guilty of the sin of presenting false witness? I mean dinosaur bones, and noah's flood, and living in a whale, dna evidence... that's bearing false witness - so god must not be perfect.

  • The fact is there are not hundreds of thousands of horses and chariots in archological evidence on or near the hill cummorah in new york, no elephants either. Actually there is no evidence of hill cummorah either...

  • thats it.. thats the evidenve of the book of mormon LOL what were us trinitarians christians thinking lol

  • The four-block parade route started in downtown Salt Lake City at 600 East and 500 South and ran west on 500 South to 200 East, ending at the City and County Building.

    By participating in the parade and doing something to honor the pioneers, children “remember the pioneers a little better,” she said.

  • They were some of the more than 5,000 children who participated in the parade July 17. Now the largest youth parade in the nation, the Days of ‘47 Youth Parade started in 1943.

    Jodene Smith, parade co-chair, said 20 LDS stakes sponsored floats in the parade, all centered on the theme, “Pioneer Spirit — Then and Now.”

  • I love how these guys just make stuff up under the pretense that reality will change if you just repeat an idea long enough. The wrangle island bit is pretty laughable as well. When the best you can do is rattle off unsupported and semi-plausible scenarios, it's a pretty good sign you're full of crap.

  • Edward Kimball concludes his biography with the decline and eventual death of his father. These years, 19811985, provide a stark contrast to the energy and activity of President Kimball's early years. During these years his many health problems took their toll. President Kimball had uncharacteristic moments of anger, despair, and disorientation, but these episodes were paired with moments when he was remarkably lucid and in control.

  • After 1980, President Kimball did not travel extensively due to his health, and new media made it possible to reach members via satellite.

  • I am LDS, do you want a phone call from me? You are telling a point blank lie in this video and I am calling you out. Please show me the data that supports your claim or pull this video. It is really that simple.

  • A phone call huh? Interesting.

    I highly doubt you are LDS, if you are, you are a non-believing LDS. There are plenty bitter ex-LDS and LDS who only have their names on the records of the Church, and by the looks of past comments on this video, and others, am pretty sure you fit into one of those categories. That is, of course, you are telling the truth.

  • You can't handle the truth.

  • 4:31

    "could have been . . ."

    that's the best that they've got

    and I'm not just talking about siberian mammoths here - that's basically their answer to everything . . . "could be"

    sad

  • Is it just me or is this the (quasi) academic equivalent of grasping at straws?

  • It's just you.

  • @chuska8383 Yes.. it's sad actually : (

  • To be mormon means you have to use your imagination.....oh goody can I make up rules for the church too! Rule #1 no more lies # 2 all the wine you can drink on Sunday for the price of admition,.that'll pack the house. #3 No more church apointed prophets,...that's gods job. #4 Smoke all you want!! cause you will die within a hundred years anyways. #5 lots of premarital sex,...gotta drive the car before you buy it people! #6 church only lasts an hour tops,...just enough to catch a good buzz .

  • This is so amazing ..... that these two goof balls have actually made a living all these years promoting convoluted thinking in a quasi academic environment for the sake of LDS fantasy.

  • @bennchaca you seem very confused especially about the LDS religion.

  • if the LDS churh is as confident as these people why do they not excavate these areas?

    I am dissapointed in this video clip I thought they were going to have both challenging and useful info.

    Man what a stretch!

  • Oh man...especially the elephants section...lets do an analogy : ''aliens landed in peru around the time of the nazca civilization. I know its true and even though i have no real evidence i have plenty of circlar logic that can make sure its NOT an impossibility.'' oh brother. Even THAT theory would be an easier sell to the scientific community than mormonism.

  • This is both pitiful & pathetic - what a way to prove one's religion! Why do Mormon explanations require caveats, exceptions, singular experiences & disagree with the scientific community in every aspect?

    The Smithsonian said it best - not one "artifact" has withstood scientific scrutiny. If the LDS had anything of value we'd see the biggest PR campaign in history.

    We have tons of fossils old but only a few possible bone fragments. Hello? Does anyone see a problem with this?

  • Is that guy with the glasses admitting to the fact the Joseph smith copied the King James bible word for word ??? Wow, did they not edit this movie before releasing it. Mormons why did JS even translate the same italicized words as the author of the king James bible did? Check Isaiah and the BOM

  • grab at those straws instead of opening your eyes.

  • Shawn McCraney is an idiot and a deciever.

    He reminds me a lot of Korhior, who blinded the people and preached against the church. He was struck dumb and then trodden down.

  • Good. I was in a little town in Mexico as a missionary called Zumpango del Rio. They were digging up a small ruin and found some rocks with drawings of them from what they believe were the primitive Nahuatl people in SW Mexico. In the drawings? Horses!

  • Question what about the Citys they founf off the coast of chile that are dated back to the times of the book of mormon? Also isnt possible that the cities fell into the water because scientists have said it for years that it is going to be under water some day.

  • Great video! Keep 'em coming.

  • he continues) I know that what i´ve seen is true. He finished his talk saying: if one of you want to know if this Book is true, ask to God and HE WiLL ANSWER YOUR QUESTION!!!! try!!!!

  • If i say: the BOM is true, i don´t think that you would believe in me, but if God ( the almighty) gives you an answer about The BOM, what do you think about that???? Would you believe???? I remember what Joseph Smith said about his testimony. If I´ve heard this kind of testimony from a person, i would not believe. But

  • i think that you guys are fools!! I can´t believe that you guys can´t believe that the BOM is true. One of you is claiming: I've never been tempted to pray if the BoM is "true". It's ridiculous, laughable. Why would I pray to see if it's not a load of crap? I wouldn't pray about Dianetics either. It's self-evident ; Man, why do you not try to pray??? Are you afraid of get an answer from God??

  • the Book of Mormon is such the embarrasment...

  • Great stuff!!

    So were can I see the bones?

    Who published the carbon-dating on them?

    Like a lot of other questions about the Mormon Church I don't think these questions are going to be ansered.

    And I'm sure there was some creative editing of Peterson interview. plus isn't he a PhD of MIDDLE EASTERN STUDIES! why is he even in this video?

    And what is a Senior Scholar? someone who reads a lot but isn't smart enough to get a PhD?

  • Horses as we know them today were introduced to the New World by the Spanish. The only horses that were ever native to the New World were tiny, 3 and 4 toed horses. You can't really pull a chariot with a horse the size of a dog.

  • these horse bones they found aren't those tiny horses that were prehistoric, they are bones of horses similiar to ours today.

  • wrong.

  • LOL what a load of crap!

  • offcourse you can't say why it'scrap, as you couldn't defend your case in the earlier videos either.

  • watch video of Realistic Book of Mormon Evidences

  • I can full heartedly testify, I have a "sure knowledge" that the Book of Mormon is true. I know it is a true account and divine history of the ancient people here on the Americas.

    The LDS Church belongs to Christ.

    Jesus Christ governs it!

    The Book of Mormon is about Christ.

    The Book of Mormon testifies of Christ and his dealings with this ancient people.

    The Book is true.

    Read it, pray about it and you will know it too!

    view: outdoor evidence of the Book of Mormon and dna.

  • Your "knowledge" is based on what? A feeling you get because you really really want it to be "true"?

    I've never been tempted to pray if the BoM is "true". It's ridiculous, laughable. Why would I pray to see if it's not a load of crap? I wouldn't pray about Dianetics either. It's self-evident.

    Oh, and early horses in the Americas became extinct about 10,000 years ago. Only Mormons keep insisting that they weren't because they really want Horny Joe not to be a narcissitic, philandering scumbag.

  • nope my testimony is not based on a feeling, its based on something Jesus Christ Him self showed to me. My own physical evidence, you see I once was hard core aganist the Lds faith and Joseph Smith, I tore into the church way more then you guys could even dream up of doing, and one evening The lord desided it was time to show me truth and turn me around and It happened over night. and it had NOTHING TO do with feeling I now have a SURE KNOwledge of its truth.

    That the Church belongs to Christ

  • is that why the BOM dissagrees with what he said in the bible so much?

  • "is that why the BOM dissagrees with what he said in the bible so much?"

    -Who said what, what is the purpose of this random comment?

  • because you have no faith in God. You lift yourself up with pride. You think your wisdom and knowledge is greater than that of Almighty God. You have no spiritual understanding.

  • Have you ever wondered why you have not seen ( or will you ever see) a Documentry on the Great Wars & Battles in the Book of Mormon on the

    " The History Channel", "Military Channel" Discovery Channel, National Geographic Channel, History International Channel", "The Learning Channel" .Do you know why?

  • Nope, I have never wondered that.

    But it's the same reason you don't see any historical documentary on anything pre-mayan because they know so little about it. They know people lived there. They just don't know who they were or anything about them. Except the Olmec, who we have very little information about.

    Ancient Central and South America are virtually an unknown.

    And the Mayan and Aztec libraries were burned to the ground. That didn't help.

  • 1. The Smithsonian Institution has never used the Book of Mormon in any way as a scientific guide. Smithsonian archeologists see no direct connection between the archeology of the New World and the subject matter of the book.

  • well HomesliceDrummer, sorry to say but the Experts all say you don't have a clue on what your talking about!

    Maybe you should start to wonder.

  • I have heard some ill informed and ignorant people pretending they know it all but this is a whole new level.

    What do you mean people don't know who lived in central america back before Aztecs and Mayans? well there were the ancestors of the Aztecs and Mayans which have various names depending on who you listn to, and lets not forget the Minoans. and WHAT LIBRARYS are you talking about?

    seriously write "breathe" on the back of your hand and don't take your eyes off it. Lest you suffocate.

  • A whole new level? I haven't said anything untrue. Sounds like you are the ill-informed. If you can link me to a vast amount of knowledge of pre-mayan civilization, please share. The mayans themselves are somewhat of a mystery. those that lived efore them are not well known or understood because the information we have is very limited.

    What libraries? Why don't you google it. It is widely known history. The spanish conquistadors burned Aztec libraries, destroying tons of history and info.

  • Next time you accuse someone of being ignorant and ill-informed, check yourself first dude. You really made yourself a fool this time.

    "durrrr, I iz stupid, durrrrr"

    Why don't you write "shut up" on the back of your hand and keep your eyes on that. Lest yu open your mouth and look and sound like a complete and utter moron.

  • skyaglow is using what's called "ad hoc"

    He has a preconcieved notion, which is that the religious texts are correct, and using that as an unchangable hypothesis, he/she is then filling any factual holes that would make the hypothesis untenable. That's the difference between religion and science. Whereas people take religious text validity as a given, scentists will abandon a hypothesis if facts don't add up, and aren't afraid, to paraphrase Faulkner, to "kill their darlings".

  • The National Geographic Society states: But archaeologists do indeed find the Bible a valuable reference tool, and have used it many times for geographic relationships, old names, and relative chronologies. On the enclosed list, you will find many articles concerning discoveries verifying events discussed in the Bible (note: more than thirty articles are listed).

  • blah blah blah

    I've heard this all before.

    The Smithsonian doesn't know crap about pre-mayan civiliaztion. Nor does anyone for that matter. The only proposed explanation is what is n the BOM. Until it is confirmed, they will ignore it. Which is totally undestandbale. At this point, it is unconfirmed. Not invalid.

    Evidence to confirm it does exist whether people wan to believe it or not. More and more is being found all the time. If it was a lie we wouldnt continue to find more and more.

  • Part 1: That's because the Bible came forth in a pretty straight-forward manner.The Bible was widely accepted as a result.If it hadn't, the sign-seeking world would have nothing for spiritual reference.I think God wanted at least one book of prophets' writings to be widely accepted,so he brought it forth in the manner He did.

  • Part 2: Does God love all his children?What did people who didn't live in Jerusalem and surrounding areas do to find out what God would have them do?Surely God wanted them to have His knowledge,as well.The Bible mentions writings from others,in other lands.Anyone who has really studied the Bible knows this.

  • Part 3: Where are these other writings?I'll tell you where some of them are:the Book of Mormon! And I believe there's more that we haven't received, yet.The world's not ready! If you truly desire to know if the Book of Mormon is the word of God: READ IT and PRAY about it. Do you believe God can speak to you? You should.  Try it.Don't rely science!Science is constantly evolving. New theories and explanations for things are found each day. Pray to God and trust his answer,& none else!

  • What I dont understand is that they are saying that they found a small amount of horse bones, but the book of Mormon spoke of TONS of horses, so shouldnt there be an abundance of bones? Shouldnt they be everywhere?

  • The BOM did not speak of tons of horses in the Americas, but did mention them. There were a lot more humans than horses, but still only find a remnant of bones, and they are generally easier to find because they are in burial grounds. Horses are only found if they died in an area where we would expect to find ruins, which is where you wouldn't find animal bones. Archaeologists don't just dig anywere. So if we were to dig in random spots, I am sure we'd find more.

  • But didnt they dig at the "Hill Camora" or whatever the name is? Wasnt that supposed to be the sight of a major battle, hundreds of thousands of men.? So wouldnt there have been horses, and wouldnt that have given some good proof?

  • There are 2 Cumorahs in The Book of Mormon. One where the plates were buried, and the other where the battle took place. So no evidence should be found in NY Cumorah

  • What about the other one, has there been a dig there?

  • Not to my knowledge, no.

  • The problem that seems to remain is that we have done digs all over the U.S. In thousands of areas, and if we are still only able to point to a few isolated times when they found ancient horse bones in a cave, isnt that an indication that horses were almost entirely absent?

  • Yeah, and every prophet since Joseph Smith disagrees with you . Oh, but I guess FAIR and FARMS know better than those with God-given revelation. You internet Mormons drive me nuts. Live by faith or get out of my church!!!! Trust the Prophets or go trust the Pope. Get with the program. The hour of the Lord is nigh! Don't be one of the fooled elect.

  • @livy111us

    so where are these hill Cumorahs ?

  • what a desperate and pathetic effort to try and justify the proovable lies of the sex mad lying bastard joe smith

  • provable lies? So often people who are angry make one line comments like this. You have to suppose that Joesph Smith either did something to a relative of theirs, that someone in the church offended them in someway.. or they were ex-communicated from the church and now just search out web pages that have something to do with the church so they can put their mark on it. I can only pray that the anger disapates and I pray that you pray to have the Lord take it away from you.

  • when i was young and naive i was a mormon. i loved religion so much i decided to study, study and more study. all religion and all sides of arguments. i quickly realised smith created his religion like many before and many after. look at american indian d n a. book of abraham hieroglyphics, no artifacts etc. in fact all religion is man-made

  • I'd recommend watching a video that FAIR made showing DNA evidence of the BOM. You can watch a clip of it here: youtube. com/watch?v=--LJJcaSNps

    For evidence of the book of Abraham, Kerry Shirts, the BackyardProfessor has some good stuff on his site.

    You can also see some good stuff on FAIRs playlist of videos on the book of Abraham. It's amazing that he got so many translations, stories, and the culture right, when it was not known in his day. No one could even translated Egyptian then.

  • Responding with evidence is pathetic effort?! You have truly ***weird*** criteria man.

  • Not much of a rebuttal....

  • Pretty much all of it is ad hoc.

  • Another fairy tale to convince the gullible.

  • Perhaps if you show where you found this information. I hope it wasnt some silly article you read in the Deseret News.

  • Forget the Mexican horses... Where are the horse bones in New York where all these battles took place? That's where the horse bones should be. Stupids...

  • Actually the guy in this video gets his facts wrong. He says that research seems to claim that there were no horses from 10,000 BC to the time of the spanish conquests..

    According to all of the sources that I have found, we are talking about a few thousand year difference in time.

    Google: "horses americas national geographic"

  • Actually, there is radio carbon dating of horses which date to BOM times. A thorough study is currently being done.

  • By whom? Where were the remains found for this study you mention?

  • Chariots are chariots?

    OH...

    Wrangel Island?  LOL

    This video should be called, "Giving New Meaning To BOLD-FACED LYING." LOL

  • "We're hoping that at some point, these can aal be located and radio-carbon tested,"

    LOL

    If you listen to what these guys are actually saying, there is STILL no evidence of horse bones dating to the time of the supposed date of events in the BOM of 600 AD.

    Why die for a LIE??? Turn to Jesus and HIS Book. The King James Bible.

  • Actually, what's being said is that we aren't worried about anti-Mormon accusations against the Book of Mormon. Why? Because when it first came out, Mormon-haters like yourself said loudly, "There were never any horses in the Americas!" Now that we have scientific proof that that there were, you shout, "But, but, but, um... there were never any at the time of Nephi!" We follow the Bible's advice to listen to the Spirit despite the world's wisdom (1 Cor 2: 10-16), and later there's been proof!

  • Be careful how much you base your faith on archaeological evidence. After searching for over a century there is still no compelling evidence for The Exodus, the great flood, or virtually anything in the book of Genesis. And if you try to find archaeological "proof" for the most important parts of the New Testament (the miracles, the Passion, the resurrection) you're going to find yourself fighting an uphill battle. It's not about proof. It's about Faith.

  • Your wrong there is evidence all over!!

  • So you're telling us that you have faith in Christ and the Biblical narrative because you have found compelling evidence in the archaelogical record? References. Last time I looked faith was the "evidence of things unseen". People come to an understanding of the ressurection and gift of Christ when they read the scriptures and God touches their heart and soul. Call it "inspiration" or "revelation", but it is different than pawing in the dirt, or taking measurements of c14. It feels better too.

  • I am just saying that Faith need not be blind. Faith is based on the spiritual and physical proof of the living Christ. Christ's tomb is there the cities mentioned in the Bible are there. There's trillions of arc logical evidence of the bibles accuracy. The book of Mormon talks about ancient cities try to go to one. The book of Mormon burns up when put through the fire of truth. God's divine authority is enough to protect his own word!!

  • "Faith is based on the spiritual and physical proof of the living Christ."

    "There's trillions of arc logical evidence of the bibles accuracy."

    I am glad that your faith in Christ is strong. I am sorry you have built it on fallible archaeological evidence. My advice? Live the two laws (Love god, love your neighbor), do His will, and you're good.

    The Book of Mormon is one of many inspired documents that bring men to Christ and testify of Him. What you do after finding Him is what counts.

  • For more videos like these, go to FAIRs channel at youtube dot com/user/fairldsorg

  • This is great video! Keep 'em coming.

  • I would just love some explanation as to why there is no oral history of Jesus Christ visititing the new world past down from any of the Native peoples, or some sort of evidence such as a petroglyph dealing with such a monumental event....Nothing...No Proof.

  • Quetzalcoatl was a man of comely appearance and serious disposition. His countenance was white, and he wore a beard. His manner of dress consisted of a long, flowing robe. (Ixtlilxochitl: 45) An Aztec legends that dates back to around the time that Christ would have appeared to the Nephites.

    There are many parallels between Christ and this legend. Conclusive evidence? No, but certainly a place to start. You obviously haven't studied the subject much.

  • So history of such an event stayed withing the area. Never moved north, never did anything. Your grasping at straws for examples. Besides DNA evidence already shows that their is no connection between two cultures. A wise man does not build his house upon the sand my friend. Jesus was not white by the way you arrogant asshole, and dont argue that he would have been lighter skinned than the native people, the skin tone would have been just as dark.

  • DNA now shows connections between the Middle East and the Mayan Indians. Not only that, but linguistics and Biological evidence also show this tie. You're going to have to find a new argument.

  • where can i find this proof of dna connecting indians to the east?i am investigating the church

  • youtube. com/watch?v=--LJJcaSNps

    will show you video #1. These are only clips of the video. Most of the good stuff is on the DVD which has to be purchased.

    Notice the space between youtube. com. That needs to be corrected to work

  • So to you, jews and native americans have the same complexion? What do you think they mistaked Cortes (Spaniard - olive complexion!) for?! If you are going to be that sensitive and ignorant there is no hope to even having a normal discussion.

  • Another good video...Thanks!

  • Great videos.  Keep it up!

  • Thanks for posting all of these videos!

  • Oh boy. you guys may cause more harm than good. You will do better putting a spin on the word horse.
