That should clear up a thing or two about the origins of the BOM.

They'll see the detached head and say...hmm, must be John the Baptist.

I would think that Zoram was the prime suspect since he just fled, which only made him look guilty.

Second, you are probably right about Zoram. Thanks for sharing.

Well, you know what I was getting at!

I can't imagine we'd ever see a news story that even suggested that a person from the Book of Mormon had been unearthed...

I hope i'm wrong on that though! Not that we need proof!

I had a missionary companion who believed that science would make major discoveries to prove Mormonism is right over the next years. Jehovah's Witnesses would be swayed by this new evidence and join the church in droves.

I usually rolled my eyes and kept quiet when he got on that topic.
