Evidence for God from Science

I read the first couple posts, then I skipped down to the last couple pages of this thread and skimmed those. It seems that this discussion has wandered all over the map. Someone described BW's approach as a "firehose" method....that seems pretty accurate. Among LDS apologists we like to r...

While I am not very interested in the topic, I still find it worthwhile to provide some opposition to the lies spoken against God's prophets. But I am not as dedicated to the Spalding issue as you are, I do not see it as a real threat. Yes Gman, your psycho-analysis is dead on. You have got me figur...

My posting will be limited until wednesday. I will not be able to engage the issue due to a lack of time until then. My calculus exam holds a higher priority.

Zoegirl, You folks are giving me a headache!! :shock: You continue to claim that I have not been able to produce a good answer to your accusations, and feel a sense of triumph in yourself, that perhaps I have not done so because I can't. Have you not noticed that I have purposefully and repeatedly m...

Gman and Judah, My frustration is not at all linked with Gman's refusal to agree. I have held lengthy conversations with many anti-mormons, such as Fortigurn, who simply were not capable of agreeing with my points of views, but who at least were able to comprehend my arguments correctly. Repeatedly ...

Zoegirl, I am astounded!! Did you not understand the first 3 times when I said that this thread is not about horses?? I really have no problem discussing horses with you, but you are derailing the topic of this thread!! I have only suggested one evidence for the Book of Mormon and already the thread...

Zoegirl, Ill start by addressing your last comment. SImply address the issues, let;s not keep throwing out accusations after accusation. You weaken your case by evading the arguments. This statement is exemplary of the type of behavior I am witnessing by my critics at this very moment. I have starte...

Gman, This isn't about taking your comments about mormonism as personal. Your comments about mormonism are often ill thought out, and sound crazy to those who understand LDS thought. My comment about investing time in you was a manifestation of my frustration at the fact that often you simply do not...

I recently heard a great word for the kind of strategy that puritan lad is employing, the shotgun approach. Throw as many bullets as you can, none of them well thought out, hoping that one will hit. Even though he knows that their are great answers to each of them, he is hoping that at least one of ...

I will not venture to address your claims involving horses, or other animals in the Book of Mormon. The issue is trivial, and is based on ignorance of modern research. Much more exhaustive debates about horses can be found in various forums on the web. Concerning guerilla warfare however, I have com...

Angry excommunicated immoral former mormon Philastus Hurlburt? Did he write the Spalding manuscripts? I don't think he did Sargon...

Sometimes I wonder why I invest any time in you.

No Zoegirl, scholars do not agree. You can choose for yourself to ignore the refutations of this old claim, but it would not be honest. http://farms.byu.edu/display.php?table=transcripts&id=129 http://www.fairwiki.org/index.php/Book_of_Mormon_anachronisms:Animals#Horse Have you nothing to say re...

I thought Smith translated the text from Egyptian. Are you suggesting that they are Smith's own writings? Of course I am not. Joseph did not write the book. The statement I made was referring simply to the low degree of possibility, probablity, and likelihood that had Joseph written the book, he co...

For those who believe in the Book of Mormon, that belief is based on a personal witness from the Holy Spirit. We do not need physical evidence to beleive in it. We have spiritual evidence. However, because the world we live in demands physical evidence, our natures incline us to search for it. The B...

Gman, It is no use for me to continue debating this issue with you. We simply will not agree. You are not familiar enough with the BoM to understand how different it is from MS/MF. The parallels you cite are interesting, but don't hold that much weight beyond that. They are not as impressive as you ...
