THIS FILM AVAILABLE ON DVD FOR $4 A COPY AT:http://www.lhvm.org/order.htmFor more than 170 years, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has declared the Book of Mormon to be a scriptural and literal history. Subtitled "Another Testament of Jesus Christ," it recounts the story story of an Israelite family who immigrated to and fully populated the American continents. Jesus, after His death and resurrection, is said to have visited this once-great Israelite civilization existing in the Americas.The Book of Mormon teaches that these Israelites are the principal ancestors of modern-day Native Americans. New discoveries in DNA research currently allow scientists to test this historical claim. Thousands of Native Americans from more than 150 tribes have been tested to determine their ancestry.Now the same DNA evidence used in courts of law can credibly speak to the validity of The Book of Mormon, which serves as the foundation of the Mormon religion. The evidence answers one basic question: Are Israelites the principal ancestors of Native Americans? "DNA vs. The Book of Mormon" presents the evidence from DNA researchers, including Mormon scientists, who are wrestling with the DNA dilemma that now faces Mormonism. Participants: Thomas W. Murphy; Dr. Simon Southerton; Dr. Randall Shortridge, and others.

Sep 7, 2008 - Thank you that is one of the things I noticed. In the two years of going to a LDS ward they only cracked open the Bible for a quote here and there. No real study other then on the BOM

Sep 7, 2008 - Spencer W. Kimball said:I saw a striking contrast in the progress of the Indian people today..For years they have been growing delightsome,and they are now becoming white and delightsome,as they were promised..These young members of the Church are changing to whiteness and to delightsomeness.One white elder jokingly said that he and his companion were donating blood regularly to the hospital in the hope that the process might be accelerated.General Conference Report,October,1960.

Sep 7, 2008 - I am neither a Christian nor a Mormon, but I love this video. It is well done, very dispassionate, and done in a very respectful way that I would not have expected. I keep watching it and watching it. Well done!

Sep 7, 2008 - Oh I just love comments that people make to try to show they are so unbiased. Give me a break! You are neither Christian or Mormon, yet you are entranced by this video? Do you make sense? No.

Sep 7, 2008 - this is excellent unbiased attitudes showing some untruths in lds beliefs
heyman537 Says:
Sep 7, 2008 - So what ward did you attend? The ward I attend regularly uses the Bible for study. After all, it is the word of God.
heyman537 Says:
Sep 7, 2008 - Satan,On a scale from 1 to 10, how happy are you? Really?
LeoHareMusic Says:
Sep 7, 2008 - @heyman537 - I am unbiased. So I like "truth" you can examine scientifically. I like this video so much because it 1) is about science and religion, two favorite topics; and 2) it gives a counter-argument to a religious position in a thorough yet respectful way. The part I do not like is the ending, where it becomes clear this vid is an Christian evangelistic tool. Maybe the makers of this vid could examine their *own* beliefs in the light of science. But it's still a good video for what it is.

heyman537 Says:
Sep 7, 2008 - OK, my bad. I guess I was hard on you but I'm serious, so many people against the church love to start off their anti-Mormon rants by saying "I have many good LDS friends, but ..."If you are interested in learning about the LDS church, I sure hope you don't base your opinions on videos like this. By the way, some members of the LDS church have responded to the arguments contained in this video.
heyman537 Says:
Sep 7, 2008 - Me? I want a new job.But you sound very cynical. Maybe you find joy in making rude comments to others and acting like a smart ass.

But I do have some exciting news -- you can drop out of your LDS cult & revolutionize your life by refusing to accept absurd, disproved stories, delivered by a convicted con artist.Now, that wasn't so cynical & smart-assed, was it, Heyman?!!

By the way, some members of the LDS church have responded to the arguments contained in this video.It never seems to occur to Mormons that someone who criticizes their religion might know more than they do. Given how poorly educated upon church history most LDS are, I find that absolutely amazing.
heyman537 Says:
Sep 7, 2008 - What a coincidence! For me, I personally find it amazing that people like you think the only opinion that matters is yours.

Sep 7, 2008 - I find it amazing that Mormons have such a pretension to happiness. Utah leads the nation in depression, and the Mormon corridor states are in the top 10! Go Figure. (Do a Salt Lake Tribune search!)

Sep 7, 2008 - bytebear One day, you will open the Bible and really read and ponder it's words.Fella, your church doesn't even preach from the whole Bible. You attack the Word to found your own cult.You tell others that the Bible needs to be studied, yet you have no biblical scholars. You claim the Bible is mistranslated, yet no one in your "church" even bothers to learn the original biblical languages to check up on your adulterous founder's claimsYou & your "church" are nothing short of an absurd joke.
