Revision as of 17:05, 26 September 2005
Criticism
It is argued that because DNA evidence of modern Amerindians does not match the DNA of modern inhabitants of the Middle East, the Book of Mormon must be false.
Some Source(s) of the Criticism
- Thomas W. Murphy, "Lamanite Genesis, Genealogy, and Genetics," in Dan Vogel and Brent Lee Metcalfe, eds., American Apocrypha: Essays on the Book of Mormon (Salt Lake City: Signature Books, 2002).
- Simon G. Southerton, Losing a Lost Tribe : Native Americans, DNA, and the Mormon Church, (Salt Lake City: Signature Books, 2004).
Response
The response should be brief and summary in nature.
Conclusion
A summary of the argument against the criticism.
