Whats the name of the DVD or Book in front of where daniel is speaking?

@travismification That looks like Echoes and Evidences of The Book of Mormon. It is online on the Neal A. Maxwell Institutes website. farms dot byu dot edu. Click on publications, then books, then scroll down to this book. There are quite a few books in there that are very good which you may be interested in.

Dr. Peterson's first point seems to have been lost in this discussion. Based upon Dr. Skousen's work, the BOM was clearly dictated and eyewitness accounts suggest that he could not have had a book/manuscript to dictate from. This doesn't establish the truth of the book but does provide evidence that makes Smith's description of the book's origin more plausible, and most critics' versions less. At this time it's truthfulness can only be completely established to the individual in a spiritual way.

No offense, but, I implore anyone video recording lectures to invest in a tripod.

For a lengthy and detailed argument making precisely that equation, see Daniel C. Peterson, "'Ye are Gods': Psalm 82 and John 10 as Witnesses to the Divine Nature of Humankind," in Stephen D. Ricks, Donald W. Parry, and Andrew H. Hedges, eds., "The Disciple as Scholar: Essays on Scripture and the Ancient World in Honor of Richard Lloyd Anderson," (Provo: FARMS, 2000), 471-594. The article is also online

Watching this, I am reminded of "I Am the Walrus" by the Beatles.

So natural and human was the process that it suggested nothing miraculous to the ordinary observer, and "the Amlicites knew not that they were fulfilling the words of God when they began to mark themselves; . . . it was expedient that the curse should fall upon them" (Alma 3:18).

I always enjoy hearing Dr. Peterson. As a SCHOLAR known throughout the US and the world for achievements in the field and academic.

Dr. Peterson. Thanks for all the good work that you do. You have helped me greatly. I appreciate your insights and defense of the faith.

Wow..using THAT logic then Mohammed was a real figure, Meca is a real place, Buddah (Sidhartha Gutama) was a REAL man and lived in India, etc,...does that make what they taught real then?...of course not..ignoramace...here let me drop a bomb on you...our D&C (Doctrine and Covenants) mentions real cities, people and we can FIND "ALL" of them in history unlike Pilate, Jesus,...there is more EVIDENCE for our modern scriptures and prophets...now..you going to believe based on "EVIDENCE"?
