Triumphal Scientific Discovery for Book of Mormon?

Hosea Stout Utah’s Pioneer Statesman, p 234; “One of the great triumphs of Mormonism was the discovery that the Book of Mormon was indeed an authentic history of ancient North and South America. In a great speech delivered in the Tabernacle (January 2), Orson Pratt announced to the world that there was more evidence proving the authenticity of the Book of Mormon than there was for the Bible! The irony of this truth lay in the fact that non-Mormon scientists were making these discoveries!”
Titus 1:16; “They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.”
If you read the rest of Mr. Stout’s diary entry you’ll find no other information to back up the claims of Orson Pratt.
Pratt was making up feel-good stories from his pulpit with no way to back up his claims, thereby making himself a liar and we see that Stout just went along with the charade, passing the lies to another audience.
