Ah But Double,
The Cities are still there, the People are still there, the Jews are there, the Egyptians are still there (lets not forget the Pharohs-which of courses matches), every city and people listed in the bible are still there.
But NOTHING written in the book of Mormon has ever been found. None of the Great Kingdoms or Peoples! No evidence of all these great wars! Dont you think the azteks would have the same type of information at there sites if the book of Mormon was written about them??? Why were the 'golden tablets' written in 'egyptian' when the book of Mormon was about the Indians??? You would think they would be 'found' in Mexico or South America, but NO!
Take the dead Sea Scrolls. Found were they should have been found, in the laungage that was correct, with the passages that closely matched biblical scripture (not perfect but close). Lets not forget that the Dead Sea Scrools are still available to read. Did not Jesus tell his followers to spread the Good News?? They did, they wrote down his teachings and spread the word.
The book of Mormon is based on one guy 'finding' some plates in the field and then telling everyone what they said according to him becuase no one else saw them (except the 17 people who had sworn testimony...yada yada). The bible is based on many documents that are still available and can be studied.
Basicly, believing in anything the Book of Mormon says takes the term FAITH to a whole new level.
