2 Quick Facts Joseph Smith Founded Mormonism
Had vision in the woods "alone" of Jesus and Father God Published Book of Mormon after meeting with the angel Moroni.

3 Quick Facts Moroni was a Jewish prophet in N. America around 325 A.D
Moroni claimed that a Jewish man named Lehi traveled to America in 600 B.C with his extended family Eventually these Jewish people grew into two different tribes in N.Amercia. The Nephites and Lamanites.

4 Quick Facts The Lamanites Destroyed the Nephites and Moroni (the angel speaking to Smith at the end of his bed) was the last living Nephite. Moroni Told Smith where to find the golden plates. On a hill in New York.

5 Investigating the Evidence
DNA TESTING of Native Americans National Geographic Says Nothing has been found. 1.For some reason, recent DNA tests of Native Americans show they (my people) are of Northeast Asian Descent and Not Jewish. 2. The National Geographic stated that they have not found one shred of evidence supporting anything claims in the book of Mormon, particularly concering the Jewish tribes living here. NOTHING has been found.

6 Investigating the Evidence
Smith claimed to have the ability to interpret an ancient Egyptian text. He claimed it was about Abraham. Scholars of Egyptian writings have examined Smith's claim. Guess what. These scholars found out that not one word was interpreted correctly by Smith.

7 Investigating The Evidence
In 1843 Smith claimed that he had a revelation. He was allowed to have multiple wives. What's the problem? Well if the revelation came about in 1843, why was he involved with numerous other women besides his wife Emma, in 1832?
