Please do your research before repeating the words of Anti-LDS. Considering the fallibilities and strengths of modern day science, you should realize that the proof against the Book of Mormon is weak indeed. Remember: The wise man builds his house upon a rock. The foolish man builds his house upon the sand.

"Awesome".

gives an interesting look into this by LDS while citing quite a few non-LDS sources and studies.

It is important to remember that what may seem to be anachronisms could have surely been the best English translation of the original words given in the record from which Joseph translated the Book of Mormon.

I stand corrected. He was talking about tapirs, which were likely the Nephite equivalent of horses, as evidenced by what the natives said of the horses brought by the Europeans.

While some species of tapir are rather small and look like pigs, the Mesoamerican variety--Baird's Tapir--can grow to be nearly six and a half feet in length and can weigh more than six hundred pounds.

(Descent of Man, Ch. 18.2,para. 10&11)

Also referenced to them while discussing horse evolution in Origin of Species.

Please cite your references about Darwin.

Mammoths came via the Berring ice bridge, and we have found them in both Eurasia and North America just like we've found Mongoloid hominids in both places.

Please cite your references about horses in the Americas prior to European contact.

In 1833, Charles Darwin found evidence for horses existing in America before the Europeans had arrived. In 1931, scientists found an arrowhead beneath the scalpula ofa a mammoth in Angus, Nebraska. Evidence suggests that the American native hunters may have helped to rapidly bring about the extinction of horses and other such animals which archaeologists say had at one time roamed the American continents. Bones have been found buried near ancient hunting tools, ancient drawings in Blythe, CA.

He never claimed it to be doctrinal! Just an idea, even a prophet can speculate on certain things. Think of the era they lived in...such things were not uncommon beliefs in their day.

There is a way to come to know that we can trust their teachings, and then is looking at the Bible, as well as the guidance of the Holy Ghost! Both support the fundamental doctrines of the Restoration!

"trying to make it sound Biblical"

that is what the critics say about the New Testament!

The evidence is clear. Joseph Smith was not correct in teaching that there was life on the moon, Oliver Huntington never preached to the inhabitants of the moon, and all scientific evidence points to the fact that there is no life on the sun as Brigham Young claimed.

Since Joseph Smith and Brigham Young were wrong about life on the moon and the sun, does it make sense that we should trust their teachings about eternal life?
