The Book of Mormon dogmatically teaches that the ancient israelites are the principal ancesters of moder day native Americans.But new discoveries in DNA researchcantradict that claim.In recent years ,thousands of native Americans from more than 150 tribes have been geneticaly tested to determine there ancestry.If native Americans as proven are not deccended from Israelites as the book of mormon claims then does not this prove that book to be untrue and unreliable .DNA presents clear and compelling evidence that even when pre columbian remains of native americans
was tested ,the DNA showed 100% asian ancestry was the origin.There is simply no indication of Hebrew or even middle eastern ancestry in the DNA of any native American s as the book of mormon claims Thus if this is a lie is not the whole book supect ???

I didn't know that about the book of Mormon. It's amazing what people still believe in despite the scientific evidence. That's somrthing I've come to realise a lot since I joined this site. I guess people will go on believing in their religious books no matter what. Although in this case I don't think I would need any scientific evidence for me to regard this book as suspect. :-)

...er, don't forget scientifgic a-theism is not proven.. as a matter of fact lots of science poses many problems to the 'theory' and actually more science disproves it than 'proves' it.. The DNA program in all living things, alone, suggests intelligence behind matter/creation.
