The Book of Mormon story and the Bible story are happening on opposite sides of the world. No reason for the time to be the same.

Come on!?!!? The Christ was being crucified at Jerusalem! Why would the Americas experience 3 days of darkness and Jerusalem receive only 3 hours! Think for once in your life. Joseph Smith was writing the Book of Mormon without any help from GOD. And He could not help but make mistakes. And this is a glaring error, and yet one that could have slipped by any guy who had no heart for the truth but was too busy trying to jump into the spotlight.

The Bible was also written without any help from god. The Book of Mormon and Bible are both MYTHOLOGY!

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

The Bible is a highly intelligent book. The Book of Mormon is very superficial and entirely without any archaeological, scientific, historic or prophetic support of any kind. The only thing Mormons cling to are their own personal "FEELINGS." They don't need any proof, and yet GOD clearly says to try (test) -- not accepting things at face value.

The Bible is a highly purile book, full of talking snakes, and talking donkeys. The main character is a monster who orders the death of children and who relishes won ton destruction.

God hasn't clearly said anything. You haven't established that God has anything to do with the Bible.

The darkness in Jerusalem would have been at night in the Americas. That event would have been invisible to the Nephites. If they experienced anything it would have had to have been a result of different miraculous arrangement and would have to have happened at a somewhat different time.

Wait, wait, wait! Have you never seen the stars and the moon? Imagine a beautiful starry night suddenly going black for 3 hours. Of course Joseph Smith lacked any godly insight to fill in what he forgot from Sunday school, and clearly left his lack of divine leading imprinted in the pages of the Book of Mormon for anyone really interested in pondering the differences between the Bible and the Book of Mormon to note. In Moroni Chapter 10 verse 4, the book itself presents in poor sentence structure the following: "... I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true...."

OK, GOD, are these things not true? The answer I get from GOD is, "Absolutely, these things are NOT true!" Now I know what Joseph Smith thinks he was saying in ye old English, but the fact is he proves that the Book of Mormon is a forgery and not another testament at all, but an attempt to usurp the true Word of GOD. If you want a relationship with GOD the FATHER through Jesus the Messiah read the Bible. If you want to be a god with your own planets then read Harry Potter and forget the Book of Mormon.

And the natives said something like, "Must be that a son of a god died on the other side of the planet where the sun shines." :lol:

Where did the natives come from Nipper? How are they tied to your Adam and his consort?

They are connected to Adam through Noah's son through Asia by way of a land bridge post FLOOD.

HEBREW WORD STUDY ON THE NAME JAPHETH = ASIA

Yepheth {yeh'-feth}; Japheth. Name means enlarged, open spaces; including many coastal areas, spreading northward. Also means to entice, deceive, persuade, flatter, allure, and becken. Land of the Gentiles, which means people that are not Hebrew - of Eber. 'Lands of the North-East'. Japheth's lands will reach into the tents of Shem.

So another creationist that denies nuclear dating? Do you accept the RATE study? Because there's a problem with making the decay rates variable in the manner they suggest. First off, the behavior of the elements themselves would change if the laws of physics were to be altered such that the rate of decay could speed up to such an extent as necessary for young earth creationism to hold water. In other words elements that are normally stable would themselves become unstable and be subject to radioactive decay. Secondly, the amount of radiation (recorded in fission tracks so it cannot be denied even by young earthers) if released in the short period of time necessary for a young earth would involve enough energy to melt the planet.

The problem with "Nuclear" dating is the simple realization that there is no expert who knows the intensity at which GOD created the elements originally. At what age did GOD create trees and plant life and animals? When GOD created Adam was he a baby or a healthy robust 28 looking year old man? The very same holds true for the ENTIRE universe. GOD the ARTIST created a perfect environment to house perfect beings. The moon is presently moving away from the earth at about 1 inch a year ----so how close was it 600,000,000 years ago if everything is occurring as it always has..?
