The parent's entire belief system is based on the premise that Native Americans (Indians in less politically correct parlaince) are descendants of the original 13 tribes of Israel. This can be proven or disproven using mitochondrial DNA, which has a near-constant rate of mutation from generation to generation. Now given the timeframe of this supposed transplant, the amount of mutation within samples of mitochondrial DNA between actual Israeli Jews and Native Americans from all areas of North and Central America completely quashes the notion that they were recently (within the last 2500 years) transplanted. I hate to mess with their brainwashed state, but science doesn't lie.
Furthermore, the DOCTOR who did the research was a bishop in the LDS church himself. He was excommunicated by his church for his work. Dr. Simon Southerton was a professor at BYU, but left after he realized that the Book of Mormon was nothing more than the imaginations of Joseph Smith.
I just have one question for the hardcore Mormons who refuse to believe in scientific fact: how did the 14-year-old Smith manage to translate the gold plates from an unintelligible ancient language into english? Or where did they go for that matter? Surely the man would have not lost the gold plates, considering just their historical importance and not their theological importance.
If you have not heard about Dr. Southerton, here's USA Today's article on the subject, for starters. http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/2004-07-26-dna-l ds_x.htm There are other sites dedicated to this subject, but the USA Today article is as neutral as they get.

I know I'm going to be modded off-topic, but I really don't care, considering how misinformed you are. You live in an urban area don't you? I grew up and still currently live in an area where over 90% of the land is either national or state forest. The current status of our national forests, at least in my state, are pathetic at best. The majority of national forest land is in desperate need of either controlled fires, which are wasteful, dangerous and tough to control, or selective logging. Not all logging is the "Slash-and-Burn-The-Rainforests" type stuff you urban hipsters would like average americans to believe. It has been proven time and time again that selective logging of trees that are dying or failing to thrive allows for greater overall tree health, greater lumber productivity, and allows for greater wildlife density when compared to areas in which proper forest management techniques are not allowed. Have you ever driven through the Squaw Valley area in Nevada and Utah? Those "Forests" are, for all practical purposes dead: they have no wildlife, all the trees are either dead or dying, and the forest isn't even aesthetically pleasing. To dismiss the public forest policy enacted by Bush and company merely because you disagree with other aspects of his policy is shortsighted and harmful to many different species of animals, not just the humans who derive a living and/or recreation from national forest land.

If I was a director of Human Resources, I would hire a guy like this. He's clearly got the killer instinct required for business and guys like that keep an organization honest. If somebody screws up, this dude will be right there to point it out. If Enron had a guy like this in the accounting department, Ken Lay would have been hung the fark out to dry the first time he fudged the numbers to pad his wallet. I consider this dude to be a truer businessman than Sam Waksal, Ken Lay, all the Halliburton asshats, Dennis Kozlowski, John Legere and any other executive who used rent-seeking behavior or outright stealing to become wealthy.

Well, you know, the methanogenic smell of bovine fecal matter is related to the anaerobic decomposition of said bovine's food. These anaerobes also are found in almost all deceased, decaying animalian remains.
Therefore, to use the parlaince of our times, the "bool-shit you smellin'" could be technically considered rotting.
Eh, yeah. I'm just gonna nod and smile at that one. You probably should too unless you have taken and understood non-Einsteinian theoretical physics, or whatever.
