pt 3 Daniel C. Peterson on DNA and the Book of Mormon

On December 4, 2008, Daniel C. Peterson, professor of Arabic and Islamic Studies at Brigham Young University, presented a lecture at Olivewood Bookstore on the subject of DNA studies and the Book of Mormon. He responded to some of the recent criticism directed against the Book of Mormon based on DNA evidence and spoke about a book that was recently released by the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Research entitled The Book of Mormon and DNA Research.

"Such a tool Peterson!"

obviously you have never met Dr. Peterson. Great all around guy! Very approachable!

Digression: that's right Dan Joseph Smith was as much a 'prophet of God' as Muhammad. But good one trying to white-wash the fact that the church taught everyone for decades that ALL amerindians descended from Lehi. Nevertheless no trace of semite DNA? Come on guys!!

"come clean about your dirty past!"

Ooo... how scary! How clandestine! Yes, that nasty tool Peterson needs to come clean about his evil, scheming, dirty past.

Is this what anti-Mormons have resorted to these days? Hollow threats and empty rhetoric? It would be really funny if it weren't so sad.

BTW, omiolo is right. I've met Dan many times and he is an all around great man! Maybe if you met him you'd drop your silly little delusion about who he is.
