"It was not simply the unique ancient language of the hieroglyphs, any more than English is the language of Times New Roman."

Some great points, PG. I'm going to be thinking about this, as I believe it might have some relevance to some other apologetic arguments.

by the way, another jr. apologist may have Pac Man's back. One of the first responses in that thread boiled down to, "Joseph Smith must have known Egyptian: how do you explain that Joseph Smith knew Early Modern English, but didn't know Egyptian?"

lol
Lou Midgley 08/20/2020: "...meat wad," and "cockroach" are pithy descriptions of human beings used by gemli? They were not fashioned by Professor Peterson.

LM 11/23/2018: one can explain away the soul of human beings...as...a Meat Unit, to use Professor Peterson's clever derogatory description of gemli's ideology.

I'd say Nevo properly addressed PacMan's argument:
