@asymmetricinfo I forgot that college and professional football, baseball and basketball are much improved

@asymmetricinfo Health care. Personal computers. Telephones (see the phone that you carry in your purse or pocket). The internet. Automobiles have improved in reliability, safety and air conditioning.

Speaking of air conditioning, it's miles better everywhere than it was. Etc, etc, etc, etc.

@TeeplesCY Just getting into this discussion, Clint. Have you received an answer to your questions about how The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints deals with poverty among its members?

If Joseph Smith fabricated the Book of Mormon, he would have needed to remember and keep straight hundreds of sequentially consistent dates throughout its more than 500 pages. This would have been especially difficult during the record’s multiple flashbacks or when its three separate calendar systems overlap.
.
To better understand what I’m talking about, we’re going to have to break down the timeline.
.
Mosiah 29:46 says that the 1st year of the reign of the judges coincided with the 509th year from the time that Lehi and his family left Jerusalem. Much later, in Third Nephi 1, Nephi reports that the 91st year of the reign of the judges has passed away and that it has been six hundred years since Lehi left Jerusalem. This means that these 2 moments in time must have happened about 91 years apart, and the math definitely checks out, even after 199 pages of Book of Mormon translation!
.
Then 3 Nephi 1:15 introduces a third calendar system, which tracks time elapsed since the sign of Christ’s birth. In 3 Nephi 2:5-7, Mormon tells us that 9 more years have passed and gives us a new set of dates for all 3 calendars. Once again, all the dates line up, as you can see in this table.
.
With many more examples like this, it would have been insane for Joseph Smith to have kept all this straight, especially since, according to witnesses, he wasn’t relying on any notes to help his memory. It genuinely seems more plausible to me that these were in fact all actual dates that were written down in real, ancient records. /1

@Hotchkiz I think you're wrong. They're carrying an important message about BYU and the Church. Both the missionaries and BYU are sponsored by the same organization.
