“The only way to have real success in science, the field I'm familiar with, is to describe the evidence very carefully without regard to the way you feel it should be. If you have a theory , you must try to explain what's good and what's bad about it equally. In science, you learn a kind of standard integrity and honesty .” IfsWayFeelsShouldTryingKindRealHonestyFieldsTheoryIntegrityStandardsEvidenceRegardFamiliarHonesty And IntegrityReal Success Book:The Quotable Feynman Source: The Quotable Feynman

“If, after a rigid examination, it be found an imposition, it should be extensively published to the world as such; the evidences and arguments on which the imposture was detected, should be clearly and logically stated, that those who have been sincerely yet unfortunately deceived, may perceive the nature of the deception and be reclaimed, and that those who continue to publish the delusion, may be exposed and silenced.” IfsWorldShouldMayHas BeensFoundHonestyEvidenceArgumentDeceptionPerceiveDelusionExposedPublishDeceivedSincerelyExaminationImposition Author:Orson Pratt
“One area of the Book of Mormon that does bother some is what they see as anachronistic doctrine; that the Book of Mormon has Christian doctrine prior to the coming of Christ; that it has seemingly New Testament doctrines appearing centuries before Jesus arrives, and it seems to be representing a form of Christianity existing in the New World where there doesn't seem to be much evidence of that archaeologically. Christianity is invisible in the New World prior to the coming of Columbus, and so those things seem like clear anachronisms to people looking at it in that way.” PeopleWorldWayDoeBookSeemsChristianFormJesusChristChristianityClearCenturyHonestyEvidenceAreasInvisibleDoctrineBotherNew WorldTestamentNew TestamentRepresentingAppearingColumbusAnachronismChristian Doctrine Author:Daniel C.
