Thomas Murphy and Simon Southerton join Steven Pynakker to discuss their latest paper that they co-authored along with Angelo Baca titled "Science and Fiction: Kennewick Man /Ancient One in Latter-day Discourse". It is a paper that describes the work of David Read 's "Face of a Nephite: DNA Studies & the Book of Mormon". Read is an author who advocates a "Heartlander" view of BOM events. He concludes that the remains known as Kennewick Man are that of a Nephite. Simon & Thomas demonstrate in their paper that this is probably not the case. We also talk about their past works involving DNA and The Book of Mormon and how this served as one of the catalysts for Rod Meldrum to start his FIRM Foundation organization. This is the leading Heartlander group. Simon then briefly discusses his role in the recent 60 Minutes Australia report "Cooking the Book of Mormon". #lds #mormonism #bookofmormon
