1 DNA testing has proven
Native American Indians are from Asia, and not Israelites as the Book of Mormon
says, thus proving it (and Joseph Smith) false.
Mormons contend that two groups of Israelites
left from Israel and set sail, landing in America. Many Mormons were encouraged
by Thor Vidal who sailed in the 1960's from Egypt and arrived in South America.
Smith claimed the Native American Indians were Israelites who skin had been
changed brown due to sin. But scientists said Native Americans were Asians who
crossed a now vanished land bridge before the last ice age 10,000 years ago.
They cited similarities in appearance and even some trace similairities in
language between some Indians and Asian peoples, such as the Indians of the
Andes, and the people of Tibet.
The argument was finally put to bed when
scientists did a thorough testing of the DNA of Indians, and that of Israelis.
They tested the DNA of Indians repereseting every tribe alive today, and also
the DNA from skeletal renains from Indian tribes that are extinct. The result
was Indians DNA showed no Israeli ancestry. None. Zilch. It did show Asian
ancestry.
There’s no denying Indians are from Asia,
thus since the Book of Mormon says ALL Indians (not even some, but all) are
descended from Israelites, it has to be a fraud, and Smith was a false
prophet! It’s been alleged that the Book of Mormon is plagiarized mostly
from a manuscript by Solomon Spalding, with verses from the KJV thrown in, and
it would seem to be true.
You don't need DNA testing, all you really
need is common sense. Look at these pictures below and guess what kind of people
are in them:
You're probably thinking these are pictures
of Indians or Eskimos, right? These are actually my Vietnamese (Asian)
sisters-in-law, Loan and Yen, dressed as ancient nativeVietnamese!
We took these pictures at Dalat, Vietnam in
March 2007 (at the home of the last emperor of Vietnam, to be exact). I asked my
wife why they were dressed like Indians. She said they weren't
dressed like Indians, but rather, like the native people of
Vietnam who lived there before the Khmere people
(another group of Asians) arrived. As you
can see, the resemblance to Native American Indians and Asians is striking!
That’s because the Native American Indians are descendents of Asians who
left Asia and traveled over a landbridge across the Bearing Straits
which disappeared after the last ice age. They are not "Lamenites", or
descendents of Israelites of any kind as the Book of Mormon
says. Mormons will try to rationalize it all they want, but you can't
deny the similar characteristics of dress and appearrance, on top of DNA
evidence!
