Exactly. But its worse than 'no where else to dig in Alexandria or Cairo or anywhere else in the Middle East'. Proof of the BOM must be found HERE, in America, not Central America, South America, HERE in the good ole USA.
Pottery shards must be found documenting the thousands of Cities claimed by the BOM - NONE found.
Fragments of clay tablets inscribed with BOM cites or BOM people must be found - NONE found.
There should be found evidence of a great battle, including remnants of spear heads and arrow heads, at the Hill Cumorah in New York - NOTHING, ZIP, NADA.
I can on on and on here...........
As was mentioned earlier, Christ promised that the "gates of hell" would not prevail against His Church. The Mormons claimed that Christ came to America after the Resurrection.
If we are to believe the Book of Mormon, then we MUST also believe that His Church failed in America since we know that the European explorers DID NOT find practitioners of Mormonism. Why did His Church fail in America? And keep in mind that regardless of ANYONE'S answer to this question, one of two people MUST BE A LIAR -- was Jesus Christ a liar or was Joseph Smith a liar?
