The Book of Mormon looks much less like an accurate document from Mesoamerica than it does like something someone from Joseph Smith's period with very limited familiarity with what was known about the region at the time and lots of biblical influences might imagine an accurate document from Mesoamerica would look like.
Well said.
In this comment thread, I stated that
In the resulting thread five evidences were given, and some back-and-forth occurred. Being myself somewhat biased, I feel unfit to judge if Arandur actually showed that a non-Mormon's skepticism is unwarranted.
So you, who wish to become stronger, I ask: please comment below whether or not you believe the proposition was satisfied.
Remember! This is not a vote on whether the evidence is factually correct or not!
Remember! This is not a chance to anonymously signal your agreement or disagreement with the LW hive mind!
Remember! If the sky is green, wish to believe that the sky is green!
I don't know what else I can say to forestall thread hijacking.
