| Apr 1, 2022 at 11:36 | comment | added | Julius Hamilton | I think this question applies to almost all major world religions, seeing as most of them seem to have scriptures asserting something about world history, for example, the origins of the universe, which deviates from modern science/epistemological standards. For example, the Qu'ran claims to be the direct, verbatim revelation of God, yet earlier manuscript drafts of it have purportedly been found, which show that the text was developed and changed form over time. | |

| Mar 31, 2022 at 16:23 | comment | added | Hold To The Rod | It is well worth reading Matheny in context - the IRR has quoted him badly out of context. Depperm's answer below explores this further. Re Barley, there have been at least 8 geographically distinct discoveries of new world little barley (Hordeum pusillum) since 1983 (source) | |

| Mar 31, 2022 at 15:13 | comment | added | depperm | just a note on the article in question footnotes 15-20 don't make much sense as the referenced article is pages 40-48...there are no pages 23-28 | |
| Mar 31, 2022 at 15:00 | comment | added | Hold To The Rod | This question commits the fallacy of cherry picking. the historical claims therein are shown by both secular and Mormon scholars...only works if we exclude all scholars in either camp who disagree. | |
