Summary
<p>We respect anyone who has the humility to admit their limitations, especially academics in the current climate of academia. The harshest dogmas in the modern day are not religious ones, but academic ones, and, despite overwhelming evidence of ancient contact, academics still will crucify each other if they say anything that may remotely smacks of validating scripture. One hundred years ago, academics agreed to NEVER say say anything positive or corroborating about Christianity, especially not MORMON Christianity, because "you're stupid if you believe, and even stupider if you believe Mormonism", but that house of cards is starting to waver. Brave souls have dared challenge that premise at the expense of their reputations and careers, but now, the evidence is just too prolific for even the most cynical academics not to admit... "we don't have a better explanation", which we respect... and it's fun to watch! Whether it's atheists admitting that Latter-Day Saint Theology is more consistent and coherent, or whether it's archaeologists admitting, "we have no better explanation", the erudite are beginning to almost be "forced to admit" the premise of the Book of Mormon is possible!</p>
