Since he wanted this fast and sweet I don't spell things out. If people want more elaboration on a specific topic we can get into it.

Enjoy

I never said there were piles of bones. I simply said massive groups of people were buried in hill formations. what seemed to be found in remnants was that often things were burned prior to burial, so often the remnants of the burial was not something farmers would fret over whilst leveling the wilderness they'd just purchased. And from wikipedia's article on mound builders "...There were contemporaneous mound building cultures throughout the Eastern United States."

He can be a bit longwinded at time, but he points out areas that critics thought were sure hits and demonstrates a tie between the theme that's presented by Joseph and the elements as identified by Egyptologists in Facsimile II figure 7

Temporal means time. If there was no time before the fall then the earth is young.

Evolution is fact only to a point. It's not been demonstrated to be the reason for the diversity of all life. I was referencing evolution, and preceding theories, that hold it up as the reason for all variety in life OR that hold life as simply emerging from a system with no life into a system with life.

What is an assumption if not an intellectual leap? It's taken something that's not demonstrated and using that as a premise, a context, from which to formulate something.

And they are not false explanations. You would do well to notice that Egyptologists readings of facsimile 2 have been demonstrated to be at variance with ancient views of the same item(s). So Joseph not being in line with modern egyptologists doesn't mean he's wrong. I recommend you see another vid by thebackyardprofessor

the temporal existence is post Fall. Our doctrine says nothing on the details or any fixed duration for the creation.

Evolution is a fact. For evidence just look at antibiotic resistant bacteria. They would never ever become resistant unless they could evolve. Or do you have some god curse theory you would like to share?

[HiveRadical]

You seem to miss the whole point of why I do what I do. I'm not here to prove my view, simply to maintain it's plausibility. Just as I wouldn't attempt to demonstrate proof that the resurrection happened or that Moses smote a rock and had potable water proceed from it or that the Red Sea divided. But you do the same things with evolution and other such items, you can't prove them. You look at all evidence to see how it can fit in to such OR to see how you can modify the theory.

The LDS church is still a young earth religion. D&C 77:6 'this earth during the seven thousand years of its continuance, or temporal existence'.

I don't explain coincidences. Why do some of Nostradamus' rantings resemble actual events? Answer. Coincidence. Little side tracks can be fun. But it is pointless to use coincidence as evidence when all the major evidence is missing. I think that you find these tidbits to support your belief because you deeply need your belief. For whatever reason. I think your channel is good evidence of all the things that need to be explained away in order to keep that belief. Carry on then.
