Book of Mormon Stories

Hey all,

I was reading in the Daily Herald and came across this article.

To me, it feels a little like vindication for all those times I've had to tell people that Lehi and Co. could not have populated all of the Americas, and that there were other people that arrived much earlier.

Of course, we can expect a significant backlash from the Antis, but I think it's a great change.

I think we can all learn from this as we make interpretations of prehistoric cultures (because that is essentially what we are doing). The more definitive we are in our interpretations, the more we set ourselves up for criticism. Everything "could have" happened in the way we propose. We should always include our conditional statements. Thanks for posting this.

HA! Speak for yourself Mike. Things DO happen the way I say they happened in prehistory. My interpretations (if that's what you want to call them, I prefer my 'prehistoric truths') are definitive, unconditional, and BOLD!
