Glass & Steel in the Book of Mormon, why a problem?

[_Drifting]

Yes, I really do.

Do you believe Eve was made from one of Adams actual ribs?

[_Themis]

Yes, I really do.

I gave up on that one even before I became an adult. I am not sure if there is another myth in Christianity that is more easy to see is wrong then this one. I could bring up the Mountain of problems here but I find it does no good with those who have a literal take on it, and for other areas like Steel, polygamy it is even less likely they will go with the evidence. For some reason the need to believe over the need for the truth is just to high.

As far as Eve being taken from Adam's rib, the prophets have said that that is allegorical. Eve is a daughter of Heavenly Father just as Adam is His son (see "Mormon Doctrine," "Son of God"). I have my own theory about the rib and Adam's seeming surgery, but I am not ready to post it yet. Concerning Old Testament stories, including the great flood, many have criticized them. For example, the story of Jonah, however, one should always keep in mind that Jesus accepted it (see Matthew 12:40). The story of the flood is also supported by Peter in the New Testament (see 1 Peter chapter 3 - sorry, I couldn't remember the exact verse).

So? It does nothing to get rid of the mountains of evidence that show a global flood is impossible and never happened. Even if Peter was real and he believed in a global flood it doesn't mean much. He wasn't there when it was supposed to happen.

Actually, there is a lot of scientific evidence of a great flood!

LOL I see only another assertion without evdience.

No, there is no scientific evidence of a worldwide flood. There is a mountain of scientific evidence that it never happened.

There isn't even enough wiggle room for an argument from ignorance on this one.

This is fantastic news!
FAIR, The Maxwell Institute, The Church, Christianity...have all been patiently waiting for this day to arrive. Well, according to gdemetz, the day has come!

Gdemetz, errr...you seem to have missed off the links and references...

If the flood occurred roughly at the time you postulate, how come Egyptian chronicles of their pharaohs is unbroken both before and after the so-called flood and they kept right on building pyramids before and after the flood? Wouldn't one expect an oil ring around the sphinx or pyramids after so many people being drowned?
