The Smithsonian institute doesn't accept the illogical claim of Noah's flood, the preposterous concept of the resurrection of Christ, the reality of Angelic messengers, etc.

If I want to put my trust in the arm of flesh, and believe everything science tells me, then I'd be no different than the majority of this secular world.

No thanks.

It was your brother The Don who posted the article concerning arcaeological “evidences” for the Book of Mormon.

I challenge you to go post this very statement on his thread.

Where did the stone box atop Cumorah go?

But the Smithsonian would (I assume) accept the fact of the nation of Israel in the land of Canaan, the presence of a temple in Jerusalem, the existence of a Jewish presence, etc etc.

I would assume, yes, that they would reject the miraculous claims of the Bible, but they’d accept the non-miraculous history of the Bible.

I’m not asking you to become an atheist, just to become a Biblical Christian by dropping the things that have deceived you, and to receive the True Jesus.

“For by grace you are saved through faith,
and that not of yourselves,
it is the gift of God,
not of works, lest any man should boast.”

7, you've just posted the arm of man in another thread. The smithsonian and like scientific institutions are making a very simple and clear statement that your arm is not substantated. However, the Smithsonian does recognize the bible as an accurate historical document and has valid archeology to back it up. You arm is looking very weak 7.

Archaeologists use Biblical information all the time as reference points to look for named cities as well as other items, in addition Bible tech mentioned compared with artifacts found.

At least the smithsonian institute openly admits in this article that the Norse visited the Americas. For years scientists have denied that. There is evidence that the Norse came not only to Vinland but all along the coast down to present day Louisiana.

The Smithsonian fails to mention in this posted article what they have previously published here Archeolgy of the United States that the Phoneicans came here as well. There is archeological evidence in the Americas of Phonecian writings back to the 4th century BC. There are also Phoneician maps from the Old world that show the Americas. There aare evidences of visit from other peoples as well. Medeival ages Japanese archaelogical finds in South America as well as Jade from China in ancient digging sites.

  17 It no sooner appeared than I found myself delivered from the enemy which held me bound. When the light rested upon me I saw two Personages, whose brightness and glory defy all description, standing above me in the air. One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the other—This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him!
  18 My object in going to inquire of the Lord was to know which of all the sects was right, that I might know which to join. No sooner, therefore, did I get possession of myself, so as to be able to speak, than I asked the Personages who stood above me in the light, which of all the sects was right (for at this time it had never entered into my heart that all were wrong)—and which I should join.
  19 I was answered that I must join none of them, for they were all wrong; and the Personage who addressed me said that all their creeds were an abomination in his sight; that those professors were all corrupt; that: “they draw near to me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me, they teach for doctrines the commandments of men, having a form of godliness, but they deny the power thereof.”
  20 He again forbade me to join with any of them; and many other things did he say unto me, which I cannot write at this time. When I came to myself again, I found myself lying on my back, looking up into heaven. When the light had departed, I had no strength; but soon recovering in some degree, I went home. And as I leaned up to the fireplace, mother inquired what the matter was. I replied, “Never mind, all is well—I am well enough off.” I then said to my mother, “I have learned for myself that Presbyterianism is not true.”

Do you have any reply to my point?

Someone elese here basically said that you can stick a shovel anywhere in modern day ISRAEL, and you get Bible history.

Please, please, please come to the real Jesus and leave the deception behind.

Jesus died for your sins.

By contrast, Joseph Smith didn’t do jack, in fact he did nothing positive whatsoever.
