It doesn't ft as well as you would like, and it is irrelevant to the issue here.

Olmecs = Jaredites does not help the lack of semitic DNA in indigenous American populations.
It is better to be a warrior in a garden, than a gardener at war.

Some of us, on the other hand, actually prefer a religion that includes some type of correlation with reality.

It still doesn't fit at all. I guess it's less bad than some locations. But it still doesn't even come close to matching.

You forget the 'X' haplogroup found in native American populations. That haplogroup was deposited on NA 12,000 years ago by a flying saucer supposedly.

The X haplogroup comes out of Siberia.

Did you read the whole link, and do you question the science that dates when it was introduced to the Americas? It is also not found hardly at all in the area you want to think the Nephites existed, but far more north.

Yes, and there is no evidence that it came from Siberia. There is a theory it came from Europe however. I tend to think flying saucers brought it myself. :smile:
