We aren't important enough and your retorts are lower than cliches, that's why cliches demolish subcliches. I use only the most modest of weapons against those unthinking retorts.

I categorically reject your assertion that LDS who have considered the question are "scholarly authorities" in any sense. I know no such thing. Give me a citation, Archea. I bet you no FARMS work product has been published in any "reputable journal." Show me where FARMS work has been cited in "reputable journals." I don't believe it.

The LDS Church isn't for you. We got it the first zillion times you've brought it up and we get it now. Time to move on.

My explanation is self-evidently accurate, it's not circular. My question answers itself. Do universities study astrology? Why not?

"Don't question me, sonny. My statements are self-evidently accurate!" I don't have any idea about which scholars, if any, have studied the Book of Mormon's potential as an ancient record. But if you're going to make such a sweeping statement, you'd better be able to back it up. |

That's precisely what I'm doing. I'm aware of none, and am quite convinced there are none, so given the impossbility of proving a negative I am asking the rhetorical question and asking others such as yourselves to prove me wrong. My conclusion that this work has not been undertaken because it has not been thought worthwhile to undertake is a reasoable inference to be drawn from the evidence. Why don't universities study intelligent design? Is it circular to say none do because it's on its face not science?

You categorically rejecting it means nothing. You are capable, more than capable lawyer. You are a capable Roman historian and a gifted author, but your understanding of LDS principles and its history as well as scholarship surrounding LDS issues is embarrassing naive and simpleton. I can anticipate your retort when I cite the articles which have been published.
