Camels In America - Evidence for Book of Mormon

 Camels In America-Evidence for Book of Mormon

News Week Headline Story Titled 

"What Lies Beneath" 

Supports Book of Mormon Claims

In this undated photo made available by the Florida Museum of Natural History, shows the lower jaw of Aguascalietia panamaensis, a new species of ancient camel described by University of Florida researchers online in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology. The fossil represents one of the oldest mammals from Panama. Scientists at the Florida Museum of Natural History on the University of Florida campus in Gainesville, Fla., are working with the Panama Canal Authority and researchers from the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute on a National Science Foundation-funded project to recover fossils, including that of the camel, ancient marlins, turtles and horses, during construction to widen and improve the canal.

It is with glee I announce Scientific support for Book of Mormon Camels!

But when the Book of Mormon mentioned Camels in the America's, 19th, 20th and 21st century White theologians scoffed! Even today!  They feel sure now Joseph Smith was crazy for saying such things. But science proves Smith said right! 

As of April 25, 2014, News Week published a story supporting Book of Mormon claims of Camels in the Americas. Interesting to note, the Smithsonian Institute, working in Panama, has discovered camel bones in the Panama Canal. The Chinese have been widening the canal, making it ready for the ever larger super ships and container vessels to pass through to it's respective destination oceans. 

What makes this story funny and sad, is the white people of America, "Gentiles", to whom in part the Book of Mormon was given, have scoffed and laughed it to scorn. It's taken the ancient Asian connection, as mentioned by the Book of Ether in the Book of Mormon to once again bring life to the Book of Mormon story. The Chinese Government, in renovating the Panama Canal, have without intent, unveiled Book of Mormon evidences as mentioned by the Book of Mormon.

Canada’s North, Home to Bears, and Once, Camels

By IAN AUSTEN 

Published: March 5, 2013

The New York Times publishes it's story, going even further stating Camels originated in North America, an excerpt is quoted below saying:

 "Dr. Rybczynski said that though scientists have long believed that camels originated in North America" and then spread throughout the world, the remains were found about 750 miles north of what was previously the northernmost known camel fossil, a giant found in Canada’s Yukon Territory in 1913.  

If Camels originated in North America, or if they just migrated here, it does not matter. The argument invalidating the Book of Mormon as not being a historical book of the Americas, needs to be re-examined. 

How Joseph Smith 180 years ago could have hit the nail on the head so accurately in the face of theological and scientific adversity, is more than shear chance. It's a shear miracle. Those who believe the Book of Mormon does not have a historical or scientific basis are definitely up a creek without a paddle.


For the Daniel Nelson Question and My Answer...


Ancient fossils are important. The Book of Mormon, a "supposed ancient record" of the Americas' can only be proven an ancient and accurate record, if it speaks about how conditions were in ancient times.

The Book of Mormon speaks of Horses, Elephants, and Camels in the Americas. That the ancient peoples living in the Americas, used those animals to aid them in their daily labours to survive. We know in other ancient cultures, these facts were so. Why would it be any different in America?

I'm a professional Horseman, Trainer, Farrier and Showman. I know a good bit about the history of horses in general, and horses in America. What is amazing to me is that science is proving that the other Book of Mormon animals existing as a pure fact!

Let's look at Book of Mormon claims and see if the ancient fossils are recorded in the Book of Mormon. Let's look at today’s science headlines, and see if what the Book of Mormon claims to be so, is proven as possibly correct, scientifically.

The Surprising History of America's Wild Horses
http://www.livescience.com/9589-surprising-history-america-wild-horses.html

"Modern horses, zebras, and asses belong to the genus Equus, the only surviving genus in a once diverse family, the Equidae. Based on fossil records, the genus appears to have originated in North America about 4 million years ago and spread to Eurasia (presumably by crossing the Bering land bridge) 2 to 3 million years ago."

Book of Mormon-Book of Enos

Enos 1:34 And it came to pass that the people of Nephi did till the land, and raise all manner of grain, and of fruit, and flocks of herds, and flocks of all manner of cattle, of every kind, and goats, and wild goats, and also many horses.

Book of Mormon-Book of Alma
Alma 12:79 Now when King Lamoni heard that Ammon was preparing his horses and his chariots, he was more astonished, because of the faithfulness of Ammon, saying,

Elephants in America-

Lions, Elephants to Roam the U.S. Plains?

Fast forward fifty or a hundred years. The ultimate vision is of a vast ecological history park that contains free-roaming elephants, predators, and other large mammals that all, we hope, would serve as proxies for the large vertebrates that were here 13,000 years ago.

The idea that these animals multi millennia ago, before the existence of man, is straightly contradicted by the Bible and Book of Mormon. If the honest researcher wants to type the right key words, he or she can find that man and fabled extinct animals, existed together, and died together, even entombed together.

Don't take my word for it, read, research the internet, listen to what all of science has to say. Become literate on the subject.

I now the Book of Mormon speaks truly, because I've been reading, studying it, and proving it for years. Let it be known, I'm not a Salt Lake "Mormon" and because of the scripture in the Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and Inspired Version Bible, pertaining Salt Lake City and the LDS Church, I never will be. Brigham Young Started the Salt Lake Church-directly against Doctrine and Covenants commandment. (my cryptic explanation- if you want to know more, you're going to have to ask me)

Pertaining Camels, we know science says Camels are in America. I'm a reader whom reads, but does not always take notes, so I'm going to have to find my Book of Mormon Camel reference for you.

I will be getting back with you soon. But with what I've told you,you have enough to think about. What was written by Joseph Smith, a man with a third grade education over 180 years ago, is now
 being proven a fact by science.

A lucky guess by Joseph Smith? Or was it an act of God?

I'll let you do your own research and be the judge.

Thanks for readying!
