And it looks like the Flying Spaghetti Monster is more believable than the Book of Mormon.
“Archaeology has not proven so helpful for other religious writings. Consider the Book of Mormon. “Not one piece of evidence has ever been found to support the Book of Mormon — not a trace of the large cities it names, no ruins, no coins, no letters or documents or monuments, nothing in writing. Not even one of the rivers or mountains or any of the topography it mentions has ever been identified.” (Dave Hunt, p.156, In Defense of the Faith; also see p. 107 in The Case for Christ, by Lee Strobel). Nothing which demonstrates that the Book of Mormon is anything other than an early nineteeth century piece of American fiction, invented by Joseph Smith has ever been found.
The National Geographic Society stated on August 12, 1998, “Archaeologists and other scholars have long probed the hemisphere’s past, and the Society does not know of anything found so far that has substantiated the Book of Mormon.” The Smithsonian Institute in Washington D.C. has also verified this utter lack of evidence saying in 1996 when they said, “The Smithsonian Institution has never used the Book of Mormon in any way as a scientific guide. Smithsonian Archaeologists see no connection between the archaeology of the New World and the subject matter of the Book.”
You are new here and as you can see there are other posters that are more erudite than you and your childish outreach for attention is underscored by your intellectual depth, which as about as shallow as a dry creek bed.
Make sure your mother reads you the Flying Spaghetti Monster story before you go to bed.
And the FSM is way cooler than Moroni. Beer volcanoes? Can't top that.

I had a religious experience with the flying Spagetti Monster last week. I ate the god as communion with garlic toast and parmesian cheese, then picked up the book of mormon and had a sudden burning of the belly. I almost began to moan in tongues but a good dose of bicarbonate of soda fixed me up.
No more Spagetti monster for me before bed!;-D
