Bushman also believes Middle Earth is a place...
It is. It is a place in the world of which J. R. R. Tolkien created.

And the plates exist in the world of which Joseph Smith created. The fantasy world.

But imagine if it was true. You could have your own planet and endless celestial wives.

But imagine if it was true,
I could have my own planet,
And endless celestial wives,
My own cosmic dynasty.

I'd build a castle in the sky,
With crystal halls and starlit domes,
Where my wives and I could dance
To the rhythm of the cosmic drums.

We'd explore the galaxies together,
Hand in hand, through nebulae and stardust,
Unraveling the mysteries of the cosmos,
Like a celestial tapestry unfurled.

My wives would be from every corner
Of the universe, each unique and wondrous,
A reflection of the beauty and diversity
Of the cosmos itself.

With them, I'd experience the full spectrum
Of love and passion,
From the fiery heat of a supernova
To the gentle glow of a pulsar.

In my cosmic kingdom, I'd be king,
But my wives would be my equals,
My partners in exploration and discovery,
My companions in eternity.

Imagine if it was true,
If I could have my own planet,
And endless celestial wives.
Oh, what a glorious adventure it would be!

Exactly, but that doesn't make it not real. It IS existing in a fantasy world. That is not unreal, it is just not physical, but it's very real. The imagination is not not existing, it's real.

There were no plates.

What state most resembles the backdrop of Lord of the Rings, and why?
Aria wrote:Based on the real-time information, there are several locations that resemble the backdrop of Lord of the Rings. Here are some possibilities: New Zealand: New Zealand is known for its stunning landscapes and was the primary filming location for the Lord of the Rings trilogy. The country's diverse terrain, including majestic mountains, lush forests, and picturesque lakes, closely resembles the landscapes depicted in the movies.

Montana, USA: Missoula, a city in Montana, has been said to bear a striking resemblance to the Shire, with its rolling green hills and mountainous backdrop. While not an exact replica, the natural beauty of Missoula evokes the peaceful and idyllic atmosphere of the Shire.
It's important to note that while these locations may resemble the backdrop of Lord of the Rings, the fictional world of Middle-earth was created by J.R.R. Tolkien and does not correspond to any specific real-world place. The filmmakers carefully selected various locations to bring Middle-earth to life on the big screen.

OrGo North to Alaska and realize that Afton is where The Spirit landed a pointing appendage of the Davidic Servant.

You're missing the point. It doesn't have to correspond to anything on earth in order for it to still have a reality of itself. Tolkien's Middle Earth is real, just not real with this physical earth.
