Introduction

Purpose How to be prepared to contend for the faith when you´re least likely to be ready. i.e. Saturday afternoon and you are mowing the lawn or you are heading out to do some shopping and the doorbell rings.

After all, this is a really bad time, but isn´t it always? They are prepared and you´re not. My modest goal is to give you some tools that will allow you to be ready a few weeks or months from now when they come to your door, and they will, count on it.

DNA vs. The Book of Mormon

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svfxSscxh8o This is an excellent video about the problems with the Book of Mormon. A question you might want to ask a Mormon is: "Why doesn't the DNA research evidence not support the claims of the Book of Mormon at all when it does confirm the Jewish connections of a tribe in Africa for instance and can even document the Levitical line of priests?"
