Geneticists and archaeologists are now suggesting that the DNA of Amerindians is primarily of Asian descent and not of Middle Eastern (Abrahamic) descent. This contradicts what Mormon or LDS prophets have declared; that they are descended from Ephraim and Manasseh. Archaeologists have had a great deal of difficulty identifying with surety ANY of the sites mentioned in the Book of Mormon and have NOTHING concrete to point to as proof of the veracity of the book. There is no question that it is filled with truths and inspiring stories. But if science ulitmately proves the Book of Mormon a fraud, where will the LDS people go for spiritual food and what is to become of all the wealth that they have acquired. I have heard that they are one of the wealthiest churches in the US, if not the world.

They wouldn't care less, they are going to say that the tests are wrong, the same that the catholic church said about the holy rag that was said to cover Jesus after he died

Auntie Anne has a fabulous ingredient that desire is a poison. It does exchange not something. In a fashion, the Mormons are at a place that in the event that they do replace their doctrine to be aligned with what technology can teach as genuine, then sure they have the capacity to pave the way for different religions to get rid of their BS and align with the fact. Or, in simple terms concentration on the truths that the myths exhibit.

The latter day saints will go the way of time and space.
There are only three constants.
1. Laws Of Physics (God at work ) )
2. Genetic Frequencies (tiny tornadoes that act as centers )
3. Quarks (energy bits )
Of these three things, only quarks can
under go a change. And that can only happen
when the quarks are in a "particle stage."
Energy doesn't change in it's "quantum stage."
Bear in mind, time and space are only by products
of energy.

Is there also DNA evidence that today's Jews are related to Abraham?

Excuse me, you say the Book of Mormon "..is filled with truths...", just what truths would those be?
