Just thought I'd throw it to another 100+ Open-Source-loving Mormons
that there's a story on Digg (soon to be the new slashdot.org) gaining
a lot of popularity right now. I don't encourage the digg, but I'm
sure the more Mormons on there defending the faith, the better the
church looks in that comment. I hope this story doesn't confuse or
disrupt the faith of any of our members - please see the stories on
LDS.org defending this if you are confused. The story is at:
http://digg.com/science/DNA_tests_disprove_Mormon_scripture
Also of note that I *would* recommend digging (no, I did not submit this) is:
http://www.digg.com/links/DNA_tests_don_t_disprove_Mormon_Scripture
I am pretty sure this will be on the podcast for diggnation next week,
and in that case it will be reviewed by only 2 non-mormons. I imagine
if we have both stories in the top dugg stories at least both sides
will be presented.

I'm normally a fairly silent person on this list, but I just have to say
this. It is pointless and futile to engage in religious flame wars on
blogs and boards. The Spirit is very seldom present in such forums and
the "kicking against the pricks" of imperfect man come and go. Almost
every argument (including this one) I've ever seen criticizing the
church in such forums are merely recycled and have already been shown
how the scientific absolutists claims are possibly false. Any true
scientist would be very cautious in saying that any given scientific
evidence absolutely disproves any given historical or religious record.
Most true scientists know that they are only being presented one small
piece of data in a much larger scenario and only take the evidence as
far as it can be authoritatively and empirically taken.
