Don't bother listening to all of this. It's just Mormon apologists talking AROUND the subject in a cocky manner. Plus, they work for the Church, so what do you THINK they're going to try to prove?!!!

The speaker is a joke among his peers.

DNA evidence proves, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that all Amerindian populations that have been genetically tested are Mongoloid. It's suffice to say that the vast majority of Amerindian populations have had it's DNA taken and examined. Modern day Jewry and modern day Amerindians share no common Semitic nor Mongoloid DNA, and are therefore NOT related from a single ancestor less than 6000 years ago as the Bible claims.

Smith lied. Accept that truth.

ANTI MORMONS DEBUNKED AGAIN!

DNA evidence joins the wagon load of missing evidences along with the golden plates and Zarahemla. & another. The comical ( Kerry Shirtoff ) Backyardprofessor , questionably entertaining, also claims that the absence of evidence is not proof that the book of Mormon is a fictional tale. The apology rings with words : missing, not found, kept by the lord, to be revealed, followed by an explanation that the evidence that god has for us is not physical evidence . Where is Zarahemla ?

he lost his faith & now considers himself agnostic.

Bart D. Ehrman is a leading expert on the apocryphal gospels. He was an evangelical until his scholarship led him to find contradictions & discrepancies in the Bible.  He shifted to a fairly liberal Protestant church.

James F. Strange is a leading archaeologist & Baptist minister. He has kept his faith in spite of his scholarship.

These men all agree that the Bible is Not the accurate & inerrant word of God.....end

You seem reluctant to present a defense of your statements. I won't speculate why.

You are right though, neither of us will change the other's mind.

To show my studies are not limited to the LDS Church, I will leave some information about 3 Biblical scholars.

William G. Dever is one of America's best-known & most widely quoted archaeologists. He was an ordained evangelical minister at age 17 and has 2 theological degrees. Because of his Biblical studies....cont.

I have studied mtDNA enough to agree with Tom Murphy when he said that his studies don't prove the BoM to be true, but they don't prove it to be false either

I have been studing the LDS Church for over 50 yrs. I have yet to see "the lies pile up to overwhelming measure and the answers don't make sense..." What I do see is that you make generalized accusations against the LDS Church & the BoM. When I ask specific questions, you send me to someone else for answers....cont..

We agree with Paul when he said, "For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock."

The faithful carried on as best as they could with they had. The "grievous wolves" did all they could to rip the flock apart.

We believe that is the reason Joseph Smith was called by God, the Father & His Son, Jesus Christ to restore His Church.....end

@jesusourhealer

Martin Luther did not think Hebrews, James, Jude, and Revelations were divinely inspired.

We believe that revelation from God would give us the teachings found in the original scriptures.

The LDS Church is not a "reformed" church but the "restored" Church of Jesus Christ. We believe that when the Apostles died without being replaced, the priesthood authority of Jesus died also....cont...

@jesusourhealer

What your sis-in-law said is not a teaching of the LDS Church. We believe that the original writers were inspired by God. We believe that devious men changed the original writings. By the early 2nd century, Christianity had fragmented into dozens of splinter groups with each group charging that the others used both forged & corrupted texts. Clement of Alexandria claimed Carpocrates corrupted scripture. Tertullian charged Marcion with deleting whole verses of Luke....cont.

One other question: who are "the experts in the field especially the ones that have absolutely no bias towards religion whatsoever?"
