    One of my favorite obscure lucky guesses: As Lehi's family headed east from Nahom toward Bountiful, they entered the empty quarter, where there is no plant life. Nephi says they lived on raw meet. Why? In 1912, the Scott party was stranded at the south pole living on seal meat. They cooked it and started developing scurvy symptoms. Scott notice the natives were not getting sick, so he went to investigate: They were eating the meat raw. Raw meat, we now know, has a high concentration of vitamin C, which prevents scurvy. Joseph did not know this and did not explain why Lehi's party was eating raw meat. But, thanks to the Scott party, now we know. What a lucky guesser:)

    Fun fact: it wasn’t until Joseph started translating The Book of Mormon that he found out that there was a wall around Jerusalem. He said to his wife, Emma, “Hey babe? Did you, like, know that Jerusalem,like, had a wall around it?” And she was all like, “Well duh! Everybody knows that, dude.” And he goes, “Oh wow, I didn’t know that. That’s pretty sick that it had a wall.” And so, yeah.

    Lmao this is amazing. Great job!
    Edit: also I thought you might want to know you were a fulfillment of the spirit in my life. Sometimes when I study The Book of Mormon, Satan likes to worm little doubts into my mind. I pray about them and God clears away all the doubt with his perfect answers. One time when I read about horses being on America when the Nephites arrived, I had the thought that horses didn't arrive on America until the Europeans arrived. I prayed about this doubt and God told me to wait- the only time I've had an answer like this. I waited and found my answer here 2 months later. Thanks for shining your light to the world! ❤

    The article you cited is about horses arriving in the American West in the early 1600s, brought by conquistadors, and traded to the north. This rewrites a theory that horses spread through the American West after the Pueblo Revolt of 1680. It never addresses horses existing during the BOM timeline. (Edit: grammar)

      I agree! The idea that the Urim and Thummim was preserved and passed down from prophet to prophet for centuries only to be shelved and replaced with a, all be it cool, rock in a hat. I don’t buy it for a second. However, many did and got off Joseph’s back about his translating method after he showed them, knowing that he couldn’t show the Urim and Thummim without being destroyed. I’d do the same thing.

    That was not only really good, but humorous and quite interesting. One thing, though: There was a second edition of the Book of Mormon that was edited in Joseph's lifetime because there were some printer errors (and, perhaps, scribal errors). It still doesn't take away from all of the other points you made.

  • @TP-om8of
    @TP-om8of 3 місяці тому +11

    @9:20 Did any of you guys actually look at the horse information cited? It _doesn’t_ say that humans were using horses in America prior to Columbus. It says, “Spanish settlers likely first brought horses back to the Americas in 1519…Indigenous peoples then transported horses north along trade networks” and that then “horses spread along Native social networks”. Nowhere does this research claim that humans used horses before the Europeans brought them.
    To see the Smithsonian article shown in the screen, google on “New Research Rewrites the History of American Horses”. YT doesn’t like links but ill try and link to it in another comment .

    • @mrp4242
      @mrp4242 Місяць тому

      The article also states:
      Horses and their relatives originally evolved in North America, before travelling across the Bering Strait into Asia and further west. While North American horses were still present as late as 5000-6000 years ago, they had *likely* died out before Vikings arrived on American shores around the end of 10th century.
      Note that this researcher uses ‘likely died out before Vikings arrived’, but also doesn’t lay claim as to when that would have been, and hedges with the word ‘likely’, which of course is not synonymous with ‘of certainty’.
      Also worth noting this article, written in 2023, still changes what was formerly thought say 100-150 years ago by researchers. They’ve moved the goal posts again, and will *likely* do so again as time goes on.

    • @danielockey9883
      @danielockey9883 Місяць тому

      Yes it does. If you click on the "Conversation Article" by the two authors of the original study it says this:
      "Among the dozens of ancient horses we identified, precision radiocarbon dating revealed that several lived in the early 17th century or earlier - decades before the Pueblo Revolt of 1680, and in some areas, at least a century or more before the arrival of the first Europeans."

  • @DreDre2001
    @DreDre2001 3 місяці тому +9

    I love it. Skeptics can push back against a handful of these at a time, there are plausible explanations for a lot of the ideas. Plausible but not probable IMO. And when you consider the sheer amout of planning, coincidences, knowledge, and lucky guesses, required to fabricate the Book of Mormon its almost laughable. The only reason these facts aren't considered more seriously is because the alternative to him making it up is that it was just as he claimed: an angel came from heaven and showed Joseph where to get an ancient record and he was able to translate it by the power of God. When everything is laid out, the only reason not to believe the Book of Mormon is because you don't believe in God or His miracles. Giving any credibility to the Book threatens the very fabric of reality for most people. And I think God designed it that way on purpose.

    I have read a lot of the History of Joseph Smith. A farm boy from Palmyra, NY. I wonder where and how he got all the supposed books that kid with a 3rd grade education is supposed to have gotten. Especially such books as are in this list that were not printed in the quantities that the Book of Mormon was. There was No bookstore or Library in Palmyra, a town of about 900 people, Books back then cost about 50 cents. The Original Book of Mormon cost 60 cents to print. Joseph Smith worked on a farm. Wages then were 50 cents a day, but I doubt he got anything much beyond room and board at his parents' farm. So where did he get them. Magically all these books appeared in Palmyra. What a falsehood this is. It isn't even a little bit true!

    Guys, I think his 3rd grade education was just overly OP.
    JUST KIDDING, I love how this just destroyed almost every argument against the Book of Mormon.

    Also this is hilarious.
