Did Lehi and family really make it the Americas?

[SeattleUte]

I've been considering Adam's point about this revision to the Book of Mormon Introductoin, and what it means, exposing the fallibility of prophets, and I'm carrying Adam's point to its logical conclusion. How do we even know Lehi and family even came to the Americas? Because the Prophets, the Intoduction, and the footnotes have said so? Pffft. They have no credibility any more. I want to know where in the Book of Mormon it says the Lehis came to America. It doesn't. I think this is an open question now.

Here are some possibilities I've been considering. Maybe they landed on the south shore of Gaul, around present day Cannes, and migrated northward. Could the Lamanites be the European aborigines that Caesar found, the Celts? Maybe they made it over to the British Isles, and they were the ferocious ancient Scots (known as Irish today), to whom St. Patrick brought the fulness of the Gospel (the Irish did save civilization, so a theory goes anyway), or those crazy Picts north of where Hadrian's wall would be built, whom the Romans didn't even try to conquer.

I know one thing, God works in mysterious ways, and if he could have picked up the plates from a hillside in Central America and transported them to the Hill Cumorah, he could have just as easily carried them across the Atlantic Ocean. My theory is as good as SWK's was, I know that.
