DNA vs. The Book of Mormon |
|
|
For more than 170 years, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has declared the Book of Mormon to be a scriptural and literal history. Subtitled "Another Testament of Jesus Christ," it recounts the story story of an Israelite family who immigrated to and fully populated the American continents. Jesus, after His death and resurrection, is said to have visited this once-great Israelite civilization existing in the Americas. The Book of Mormon teaches that these Israelites are the principle ancestors of modern-day Native Americans. New discoveries in DNA research currently allow scientists to test this historical claim. Thousands of Native Americans from more than 150 tribes have been tested to determine their ancestry.Now the same DNA evidence used in courts of law can credibly speak to the validity of The Book of Mormon, which serves as the foundation of the Mormon religion. The evidence answers one basic question: Are Israelites the principal ancestors of Native Americans? "DNA vs. The Book of Mormon" presents the evidence from DNA researchers, including Mormon scientists, who are wrestling with the DNA dilemma that now faces Mormonism. Participants: Thomas W. Murphy; Dr. Simon Southerton; Dr. Randall Shortridge, and others. |

| The Bible vs. The Book of Mormon | ||
| The Book of Mormon claimes to be "a volume of holy scripture comparable to the Bible." Both the Bible and the Book of Mormon declare themselves to be ancient, historical, and reliable rules of faith--the very word of God. These claims have historically been taken on faith. But is there any evidence to support them one way or the other? Is it even possible to "test" a rule of faith? More to the point, is there any basis for placing one's faith in the Bible or the Book of Mormon? It's an important question. It's an eternal question. This presentation puts the Bible and the Book of Mormon to the same tests. History, archaeology, textual criticism, and other disciplines combine to shed light on what is true...and what is false. Truth never fears investigation. Faith need not--and should not--be blind. Discover for yourself which of these books is worthy of being called "scripture" and which is worth of your trust. Participants: Thomas W. Murphy, William Wilson, Philip Lindholm, Philip Johnston, Peter Williams, Simon Gathercole, Gabriel Barkay, and others. |

The Critical Link - The Lost Book of Abraham |
||
When Joseph Smith decided to once again prove his title as a "seer," he chose to "translate" genuine Egyptian papyri that came into their possession when a traveling museum passed through his town. Joseph Smith immediately declared he could indeed translate these ancient papyri, announcing he had discovered another ancient biblical text that even preceded Genesis. To Mormons this is known as the Book of Abraham, and it is contained in The Pearl of Great Price. We’ll never know if Joseph Smith really translated the Book of Mormon from “gold plates” as God took back the plates so we have no reference. Unfortunately for Joseph Smith and the LDS Church, we do have the papyri he used to translate the Book of Abraham. Now thanks to the Rosetta Stone, we can do something people could not do in mid-19th century America – READ HEIROGLYPHICS! Conclusion: According to universities and Egyptologists the real translation does not bear any resemblance to Joseph Smith’s translation. It is a common funerary document included in all sarcophagi. |
