If DNA proves Mormonism WRONG then why......?

Question

Do they still preach it as fact? The book of mormon states that Hebrews were ancestors of the Indians...yet DNA evidence has PROVEN that the American Indians came from Asia, AND there is NO recorded documentation that EXIST today *outside of the book of mormon* that shows evidence of hebrew culture ANYWHERE in that region. hmm any thoughts?

Answer 1

Start a LIE, then you've no choice. Gal 6: 10, gives the warning. Deception is a TERRIBLE thing. Consider each point.

Answer 2

DNA doesn't prove a thing. There has never been any serious DNA testing done for this one thing. Do you know why?

Because, in order for it to be accurate, you would have to have the DNA of Lehi, Nephi and Laman, and their spouses, and then you would have to have the DNA of Moroni and some of the Lamanites at the end of the Book of Mormon. That's teh ONLY way to even start to PROVE anything.

The Jews have moved a lot over the time from the end of the Bible to now. They have inter-married with other cultures and races. I bet that if you took the DNA of theh apostles at the end of the Bible, and compared it with the DNA of today's Jews, people would say "these people can't be Jews, the DNA says they're not".

I read that there was DNA testing done in Iceland on this one community that dated back several centuries, that could PROVE it's genealogy to two ancestors several hundred years ago, but DNA testing could only prove conclusively one or two ancestors from less than two hundred years ago.

Answer 3

The "Lord's" promise in the Book of Mormon has failed.

And behold how great the covenants of the Lord, and how great his condescensions unto the children of men; and because of his greatness, and his grace and mercy, he has promised unto us [Lehites] that our seed shall not utterly be destroyed, according to the flesh, but that he would preserve them; and in future generations they shall become a righteous branch unto the house of Israel (2 Nephi 9:53).

The LDS scientists are not able to identify a single person who is of the "seed" of Lehi "according to the flesh." LDS scholars concede that DNA for American Indians shows "99.6%" are from Siberian ancestry and that there is a lack of DNA evidence for Israelites in the Americas prior to Columbus. The LDS Church should publicly explain to their people that American Indians are not literal descendants of Lehi or Israel.
