" It's chock full of references to events in American history which simply couldn't have and didn't happen." The LDS church has a school at Brigham Young University devoted to Mormon Apologetics, specifically to defend the ridiculous, absurd and easily disproved contentions in Mormonism. It's all they do! en.wikipedia.org "The Foundation for Ancient Research and Mormon Studies (FARMS), a research organization based at Brigham Young University (BYU), is considered by some critics of Mormonism (as well as by some Mormons) to be an apologetic organization; however, most of their research focuses on Near Eastern ancient texts, Mormon history and Book of Mormon archaeology." Sort of like a Republican think tank, they start from a contention in the Book of Mormon, like that indians were a lost tribe of Israel, and attempt to find evidence to support it. Mormons also believe that if you believe in something strongly enough, it can BECOME true!
