“archeological evidence for the Book of Mormon”
I guess you know what happened to the Mayans. Do tell.
By the way, hubby and I went to see the Dead Sea Scrolls exhibit a couple of years ago when it was in San Diego. They had these brass plates that were very interesting. And one of the documents had the name “Alma son of Judah” which is the first time the name Alma was mentioned as as a man’s name.
Saundra,
You write, “archeological evidence for the Book of Mormon” “I guess you know what happened to the Mayans. Do tell.”
I laughed when I read your post.
We know, first of all, that the MAYANS ACTUALLY EXISTED!
They left cities, archeological objects, a written language, art, architecture, mathematical systems, and astronomical systems. We can see them today. We can touch them and study them.
Show me ANY archeological evidence in the Americas for any of the great cities the Book of Mormon claims existed here. There is not so much as a single metal object from the claimed foundries, or any of the cities, or any other objects a large civilization always leaves.
In short, there is not evidence for the work of fiction referred to as the Book of Mormon.
“They had these brass plates that were very interesting. And one of the documents had the name “Alma son of Judah” which is the first time the name Alma was mentioned as as a man’s name.”
Pffft. The Dead Sea Scrolls have nothing to do with Joseph Smith’s fictional work.
There are 951 people in the United States with the name Alma Hernandez. Will you claim that also supports the BOM claims, since the surname may mean they come from the Americas...?????
You strain at gnats to try to link anything historical to mormonism. Show us the overwhelming historical evidence right here of the claims in the BOM. There ISN’T any.
SD - the mayans are not the peoples of the bom. If this was the case, the major archaeological organizations would have to recognize the fact. It isn't, it is a fabrication generated by Sorenson to try to maintain faith.
