DNA analysis proves that Native Americans are not descendants of Israel


Reasons to Agree:

List of Reasons

  1. Genetic Markers Indicate Asian Ancestry: Scientists have analyzed the genetic markers of all living Native Americans, and none carry markers consistent with people from the Middle East. Instead, Native American genetic markers align with those from the Altay Mountains region of Central Asia.

  2. Scientific Consensus on Genetic Testing: DNA analysis is a reliable method for tracing ancestry, and no peer-reviewed genetic research supports a Middle Eastern origin for Native Americans.

  3. Theological Implications of DNA Alteration: If God altered DNA to hide evidence of a sacred book, it contradicts the idea of a God of Truth. A deity who deceives is not worthy of worship and would cease to be God.

Faith-Based Argument:

  1. God could have changed the DNA of native Americans to test the faith of Mormons.
