It's a matter of faith. DNA science and Mormonism are incompatible.
DNA 'scientists' have claimed for years that Native Americans uniformly come from Asia.
Mormons know better. Native Americans derive from Israel.
DNA is junk science in the Mormon world view. Let those prisoners go, Mitt. Stand up for what you believe.

Personally, I think Israel is in Asia.

(763 posts)Israel is in Asia as we define the boundary today (it's east of the Suez canal). Of course, continental geography makes about as much sense as religion. Europe is divided from Asia at roughly the Caucus Mtns, which are these little bumps compared to the Rockies, which split North America neatly in two. There should be East North America and West North America, if we're just going by major land formations.
So I guess Israel's continental geography really is a matter of opinion. Since it lies in the Levant (meeting place of continents), I suddenly choose to believe fiercely that Israel is in an extreme narrow hook-like wedge of southeastern Europe that sort of curves around the Mediterranean to encompass the Holy Land, because today it suits my purposes.
No wonder people die over that godforsaken lifeless desert. Nobody can even agree what continent it's in.
