Time flies by like the plane itself).<br /><br />Anyways, I see it being relevant to a particular part of Mormon apologetics, so I thought you might be interested. Here's the soundbite from the commercial:<br /><br />"Who Really Discovered America?<br />Did a number of explorers discover the New World long before Christopher Columbus staked his claim in 1492? No less than a dozen cultures have tales of these adventurers woven into their histories, but they are noticeably absent in American history books. This documentary explores the possibility that the Chinese, Japanese, Polynesians, Norse, Welsh, Irish, Ancient Hebrews and the Solutreans all made it to the Americas earlier than Columbus. Rebuild the ships, trace the routes, test the artifacts and analyze blood evidence to finally learn the answer to one of the greatest mysteries of all time--who really discovered America"<br /><br />It airs at 8:00 pm ET (<a href="http://www.history.com/schedule/6/22?view=day&tz=ET" rel="nofollow">http://www.history.com/schedule/6/22?view=day&tz=ET</a>).<br /><br />Sounds exciting, they mentioned the Ancient Hebrews! As a possibility, of course. I wondered where they got <i>that</i> crazy idea from *grin*, and I figured you might be interested in finding out where they got it from themselves (followed by, say, another thought-provoking article that challenges previously-held beliefs?).<br /><br />Blessings!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-13772051940170695492010-06-19T07:03:15.334-05:002010-06-19T07:03:15.334-05:00Anon, I think you misunderstood something. Non-pro...Anon, I think you misunderstood something. Non-prophets can teach and write things that are perfectly doctrinal, historically accurate, etc. My frequently reiterated point is that prophets are human and do not become omniscient and perfect in all they do or say. That's solid biblical and LDS doctrine. So to understand an issue, it is not enough to find a random quote from, say, Brigham Young and think the matter is settled. <br /><br />Nothing I've said condemns the idea of using other authors and sources to gain insight into any issue. Not sure how you could possibly think that my use of non-prophetic sources is somehow hypocritical.Jeff Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08776493593387402607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-63943038418045708102010-06-19T04:43:59.739-05:002010-06-19T04:43:59.739-05:00Thanks for your great pics and wonderful commentar...Thanks for your great pics and wonderful commentary on your time in Brazil.<br /><br />I'm thinking you could have another career in photography...MarkShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00667135616144802607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-5787431135190712842010-06-18T13:43:01.112-05:002010-06-18T13:43:01.112-05:00Hi Jeff I was researching on African Americans and...Hi Jeff I was researching on African Americans and the priesthood on your Jeff Lindsay.com and had a few questions for you. First you said early on in the post that when a person speaks or says something and they are not a prophet, then it cannot be deemed as doctrine. You then state that we should reject anything they say that might be contrary to revelation. You then go on to use the writings of a lot of other authors who agree with your points such as mr. allred to prove your theory. Is this not a bit hypocritical. Rejecting what general authorities have said because they don't go with your theory and accepting what LDS authors wrote from research cause they do agree? Since there iss no official revelation besides all worthy males may hold the priesthood, how can either side be wrong?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-91063159385530370852010-06-18T11:33:27.690-05:002010-06-18T11:33:27.690-05:00Brazil has a lot going for it with tremendous natu...Brazil has a lot going for it with tremendous natural resources. <br /><br />I understand that they're doing well with cellulosic ethanol production, making it from the left-over fibers of sugar cane. Hey, that ought to tie in with your specialty, Jeff. It's not paper, but it also about the non-food use of agricultural fibers.Bookslingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15077778974473538408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-56982791807551561242010-06-18T01:51:51.549-05:002010-06-18T01:51:51.549-05:00Wow!
