Whats the deal, you don't like the truth being exposed? I guess if the bom is true, it doesn't matter if it occured in Timbuktwo then eh PD - oh wait, the smith was full of himself when he gave the story of Zelph. And that would make for two hill cumorahs - but the GA has made it clear there is only one hill cumorah. And byu has wasted millions in trying NOT to find the bom lands in central america.
Seekers of Truth - why won't PD answer simple questions? Horses, chariots, other anachronisms in the bom? He calls them "old and tired" - are they? If so why arent they answered definatively by his links.
FARMS/Maxwell states that horses written in the bom were probably tapirs (Bennett, "Horses in the book of mormon")
FAIR believes horses were either deer, or tapirs - but admit horses were not present at the time and suggests that the 'reformed eqyptian' failed to have a word for 'horse' - as highly unlikely as that would be given that both the egyptians and israelies had horses and not tapirs.
Lindsey links to a paper pulling from discredited pseudo archaeology for evidences of horses as well as going back to cave paintings 7000 bc before horses became extinct. Then he has to go back to the riding of deer and tapir.
Seekers of truth everywhere can see the grasping at straws here from just three of these links. No wonder PD doesn't specifically cite links - just let you wander around aimlessly.
A horse is a horse to egyptians and jews, but a tapir to nephites
Great links, great laughs and poor science and excuses. And great unanswered questions
If the horse did exist in Mesoamerica during Book of Mormon times, then not a single bone or tooth from any of these horses has ever been discovered, despite the fact that the remains of an abundance of other animals have been discovered in Mesoamerica
If horses existed in ancient Mesoamerica during the Book of Mormon time period, then despite the fact that ancient Mesoamericans depicted many animals in art and ideology, they never depicted a horse or included the horse in any of their mythology
If the horse existed in Mesoamerica since Jaredite times, then it left no trace of the sort of social evolutionary impact that we see in other cultures that possessed the horse
If the Book of Mormon “horse” is really a tapir, then tapirs were domesticated only by one small group of people, never to be replicated by anyone else, despite sharing characteristics that disqualify large mammals from domestication
Answers to the salient points are not answered in pd's links, and I dare him to show otherwise.
My, thats a white and delightsome tapir you are riding.
