Clovis Evidence Debunked

Posted by skiutah on Friday, February 27, 2009

LDS Alert: Don’t be deceived by scientists claiming that humans were killing animals in Colorado 13,000 years ago: Ancient American Clovis Butchers

LDS prophets have taught that the human race is only 6,000 years old. Here is one of many inspired quotes from the brethren on this topic: “We have evidence beyond dispute that Adam was driven out of the Garden of Eden about 6,000 years ago, or perhaps a short time less.” Joseph Fielding Smith, Doctrines of Salvation, p. 79

We also know from Mormon prophets that animals had no blood before Adam fell, making it impossible to kill earthly horses and camels 13,000 years ago: “There was no blood in his body and he could have remained there forever. This is true of all the other creations. This statement may not be very pleasing to our evolutionists, but it is true.” Joseph Fielding Smith, Doctrines of Salvation, p.75

If these archeologists had claimed American mustangs were being butchered 2,500 years ago, then that would be correct, because the Book of Mormon teaches that horses existed in America at that time: “there were beasts in the forests of every kind, both the cow and the ox, and the ass and the horse.” 1 Ne. 18:25

Or perhaps there were a few chapters accidentally left out of the Book of Mormon, like 1st Clovis and 2nd Clovis?

Fast and pray that this guy (see below link) will be called as a General Authority to help clarify these doctrines:
