The Kiah were blond hair and blue eyed and I know of no DNA study that linked them to "north west asia and siberia". In case you are wondering and I may have misspelled "Kiah", they were the first native Americans encuntered by the Europieans.The Traveler The first Native Americans encountered by the Europeans were the Arawaks. Definitely not "white and delightsome." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_American Well then if not delightsome, then delightful at the very least... not a stuck-up sticky beet amoung them!

The problem here is that the introduction of the Book of Mormon still states that the Lamanites were the Primary ancestors of American Indians. What's the problem. Either JS was mistaken or science doesn't have all the final answers. Not much to lose sleep about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What they said over and over was that if they hadn't been alive for the eruption and knew that it had just erupted they would have concluded that the present condition of the area would have been caused by erosion over thousonds of years. Just the way "the cookie crumbled" would suggest that a long steady process had occured and not a super violent eruption. That was the opinion of 9 or 10 men and women who study volcanos and plate techtonics for a living and all have PHD's. So, I hesitate to fully trust any time lines that have been given. Also, I have heard of several native american folk lore that sound almost word for word out of the Book of Mormon, ie, the sun going dark for 3 days, the fact that when the Spanish discovered the america's the conqistador was refered to as "the great white god" (refering to Christ) because he came from the east and had a light complection and a beard. Not to mention that the further north you go the LESS like the asians the Native Americans become. So they knew how to build pyramids etc but suddenly forgot when they got here then got south and though oh ya, we can build huge pyrimamids.....I think the other way around would make more sence. Got over here, did what what they knew how to do and as time went on and they moved north began to adapt in different ways thus becomming less and less like the asians. I think the word of God and science go hand and hand BUT since we don't fully understand either one I think it would be safer to follow what the prophets of God have said than to rely on our own understanding. After all in the 40's they thought you're face would peel off if you went 60mph! Even a very low IQ "vulcanologist" would realize that layers of ash surrounding a volcano would probably be caused by volcanic eruptions. I suggest you find smarter people to hang out with. :) they were talking about the way the landscape appeared. Such as how the land had reformed and how the plant life and animal life had returned so much quicker than expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted December 26, 2004 Report Share Posted December 26, 2004 they were talking about the way the landscape appeared. Such as how the land had reformed and how the plant life and animal life had returned so much quicker than expected. All fields of science far removed from vulcanology, as it happens. Next time, take the right types of scientists with you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted December 26, 2004 Report Share Posted December 26, 2004 Also, do be careful of your sources of "ancient native American folklore." One I believed in -the Bishop's daughter told it to me- turned out to be a total invention. A 'Faith Promoting Rumour'. She had passed it on in good faith.
