First you say that the book of mormon isn’t what it claims to be because you can’t find any artifacts or archeological sites to back it up.

I'm sorry I was misunderstood.

I meant that IF it were what it claimed to be; then there SHOULD be artifacts in abundance - with all other things being equal.

Why isn't there?

WHY hasn't MORMONism dug up the Hill all over the place?

After all; that is JS' legacy: digging in the dirt looking for treasure.

Yes, ok.

But my question still stands — why does it matter? If the god of the universe tells someone by the spirit of truth what is true, why would that person care if modern archeologists found artifacts?

And if it does matter somehow, I’m fairly certain they just uncovered a new viking site in the middle of Old Town Stockholm. Last week. So the argument that something isn’t found today is hardly conclusive as to somethings possible existence.
