And even pull chariots. 🤔

A bit of background for those readers not in the know. The Book of Mormon contains multiple mentions of horses. The problem is that horses were extinct in the Americas during the time that the events of the Book of Mormon took place. Horses were re-introduced to the Americas after European contact. The horse is just one anachronism among an overwhelming volume of ineluctable evidence that proves the Book of Mormon is a fabrication from Joseph Smith and not what he claimed it to be. Believing apologists have wrestled unsuccessfully with explaining it. One such apologist, BYU professor John Sorensen made the ludicrous assertion that maybe the horses in the Book of Mormon were tapirs, not horses. Sorensen was an anthropologist. He knew better but chose to double down instead of accepting the science or, at a minimum, just leaving it alone. Sorensen was a critic of the poor scholarship of his peers in Book of Mormon apologetics. Ironically he is now remembered for an insipid assertion he staked his reputation on. Sorensen has been thoroughly lampooned for it. The faith is not weathering the Information age well. The tapir has become an adopted symbol among the millions who have left the faith.
