They must not think it's evidence. Convince them.

They did, but it just doesn't fit your interpretations which you admit are biased and not up for negotiation.

This is part of the Great Commission. Are you listening to the voice of the Adversary, telling you to give up? Do you lack the faith, the heart, the courage? Or is it that you secretly know that your cause is hopeless but you can't come up with anything else to do with yourself? You don't have to put it on the line here. With peer review someone would accept or reject, not let you prattle on and say anything you please like we do here.

If the evidence is so good these scientists should be saying the Hopewell's are a recent introduction into the Americas from the middle east.
Why haven't Church leaders come out and confirmed the Hopewell are in fact the Nephites/Lamanites?

Re: Question for bomgeography about the flood
The church officially does not take a position on who the Nephites were

They used to in my youth. Now that all of this evidence that you claim exists, why do you suppose the church no longer takes a position?

That's because in your youth it was meso America 2000 miles away from the hill Cumorah and found no evidence for it. The North American model has evidence and matches the Book of Mormon much better.
I was taught in seminary it took place in meso america

I know that. I'm suggesting you think about why...
