According to whom? You can't use the book to prove itself, just because it claims to have been from 600 BC doesn't make it so.

- mholt 11y agoI think people are confusing the publication date and setting of the story/account within it. Star Wars took place a "long time ago" but we don't try to prove it either way -- it's just the setting of the story, whether or not it really happened.
- sofal 11y agoAre you saying it would further the discussion on a thread about actual ancient artifacts if I came in and described how interesting it was that it correlated with some stories from, say, Battlestar Galactica?
- gnaritas 11y agoStar Wars, like the holy books, are works of fiction and the story contained within bears no resemblance to reality nor do the dates claimed bear any resemblance to the truth.
- zepto 11y agoIt seems that you're implying that the Book of Mormon is a work of fiction just like Star Wars.
