The majority of FARMS/FAIR (Mormon apologetic think tanks) are going to try the "Limited Geography" argument for the Jewish immigrants into an isolated area in Central or South America. The BoM and contemporary documents of the 1830s and 1840s are going to blow that defense sky high.
No actually they are not. The "Limited Geography" concept has been suggested and is most likely but the concept itself only suggests that MOST of the Book of Mormon events took place in mesoamerica. It does not prevent other events outside mesoamerica from happening. You do not understand what the "Limited Geography Argument" really is. You don't understand what the book of Mormon actually says either. Which documents are you suggesting will blow us "sky high". I think every document and attack on the book has come and gone the way of waves against a cliff. If there was a destroying argument against the book of mormon, it would have come already. It wouldn't have been revealed by you on US Message Board.
The next defense after that may be more successful. It will be the BoM is "metaphorical", the story "reflects true principles before the foundation of the world", not a literal story.
Watch and see.
That will NEVER happen. Never. No, you are the one who will see. There will be no metaphorical sidestep. We've been claiming the actual story literally happened for 169 years. We're not going to change our tune.
Like Brigham Young has stated: "Our gospel is the one that invites all scientific discovery. It invites all new revealed truths. It is one that will forever sustain science. For true science is part of the religion of God. True science, true religion. Such things any truthseeker embraces. This gospel is one of education, of intellectual discovery, and not of dogmatic dismissal. I say it in the name of Jesus Christ, with knowledge."
~ Discourses of Brigham Young
