Rodney Meldrum's Haplogroup X Debunked - Duration: 6:44.
DNA proves the Book of Mormon is false.
What's the answer to that?
When they sequenced the DNA from the Mayan kings down in Central America, for example,
they found that they were 100% Asian, and of course that doesn't bode well for the Book of Mormon, (laughs)
because the ... evidence for the Book of Mormon should indicate some sort of a Hebraic or
Hebrew people not Asiatic people.
Later, articles started to come out in scientific, peer-reviewed genetics journals
that talked about a "new founding lineage" these were (each -these four lineages)
they found a new founding lineage which was primarily found among the Algonquin speaking
language groups of North American Indians,
and they were indicated by five specific markers in their DNA that differentiate them from
the other four,
and when they went looking for these five markers in other populations around the Earth,
guess where they found them?
They were in the Druze population of Israel.
All of these diverse Jewish populations around the world have these five markers,
which are also found in the Algonquin-speaking language groups, which is about 110 Native American
tribes in North America, mostly concentrated in the Great Lakes region of The United States and
Canada, is where they and these five markers, and these people.
And so that lead me to go, "Well, good grief!
Um, maybe there's something to this?"
One of the most well-known apologetic videos dealing with the Lamanite DNA problem is the
YouTube video, "DNA vs Book of Mormon (INCREDIBLE New Evidence)."
This video was put out by an organization formerly known as "Prepare to Serve,"
which is run by Alex Balinski.
Neither the website nor the video has official sanction from the LDS church.
The video in question is a 13-minute monologue by a man named Rodney Meldrum.
Meldrum comes across as personable, well-spoken, and sincere, and makes a very interesting
case for his views on Native American genetics.
His use of genetic terms, as well as his confident demeanor, give the impression that he has
some level of expertise in this area, and if you came upon his presentation as a believing
Mormon with a limited understanding of Native American DNA studies, you might leave feeling
pretty excited about how science has confirmed your belief system to be true.
However, when you check the source, you find that Meldrum is not a scientist of any sort,
let alone a geneticist.
In fact, he has no scientific training or credentials to speak of.
His education consists of one year of Business Administration and Marketing classes at USU.
He considers himself a researcher, author, and lecturer.
When he speaks on the topic of DNA, he speaks as a layman, and without any academic authority.
Of course, that doesn't automatically discredit his conclusions about Native American genetics.
Many presenters are not themselves experts on the information they present.
Their credibility is earned by consistently using valid sources and by presenting the
information without spin.
Whenever presenters intentionally leave out key information that conflicts with their
agenda, that agenda is revealed, and they lose credibility.
Meldrum openly admits to having a set conclusion regarding the LDS church and the Book of Mormon,
revealing the underlying personal bias in his research and presentations.
"I know that the Book of Mormon is true, so therefore I know that there's going to be answers for it."
"Now, sometimes the Lord may have us wait, you know, maybe actually beyond our lifetime,"
"but there's going to be an answer for this."
In science, the ultimate goal is to arrive at truth by eliminating personal bias.
When Meldrum admits at the onset of the video that his ultimate goal is to bolster the Book
of Mormon, he reveals his bias, and his "research" becomes suspect.
It will become clear why this bias is so damaging to his limited credibility when we address
some of his incorrect conclusions.
Meldrum attempts to make a connection between the Hopewell Indians in North America and
the Druze population in the Middle East using the genetic marker, Haplogroup X.
Essentially, his argument is that both populations have high levels of the X haplogroup in their DNA,
and he therefore concludes that Lehi was the vehicle for the arrival of haplogroup X in
North America.
Among the many problems with his simplistic line of reasoning is that the X haplogroup
in North America predates Lehi by more than 6,000 years.
It has been found in the Kenewick Man, who lived 9,000 years ago in Washington.
Haplogroup X has also been found on both sides of the Bering Strait, which scientists of
various disciplines believe was the migration path of ancient Native Americans.
Even if Lehi carried the X haplogroup, he was not the origin for it in the Americas.
Its presence in the Americas is therefore irrelevant to the Book of Mormon genetics debate.
Additionally, the X haplogroup subclades carried by the two groups are only very distantly related.
The limited number of Native Americans who carry the X haplogroup belong to the X2a subclade,
while the Druze carry X2, X2b, X2e, and X2f.
X2a is nowhere to be found in the Middle East, and the other X subclades were not present
in the Americas until post-Columbian admixture.
These subclades diverged roughly 30,000 years ago, so that is how far back you would have
to trace the family tree to find common ancestry for both groups.
Lehi misses that mark by over 27,000 years.
If Lehi had come from the Middle East as recently as the Book of Mormon suggests, then the only
sub-clades of the X haplogroup he could have been carrying were X2, X2b, X2e, and X2f.
The presence of X2a in North America is therefore irrelevant to demonstrating a recent migration
from the Middle East, and instead supports a much more ancient migration across the Bering Strait.
Actual geneticists, who were embarrassed by their participation in one of Meldrum's video
productions, have since responded to his video and debunked his erroneous conclusions.
Their full response can be found in the description below.
FairMormon and LDS geneticist Ugo Perego have also denounced and debunked Meldrum's "research."
Their full response is also included in the description.
This video was originally published in 2016 on the LDS.net, LDSLiving and LDS Smile websites.
Soon after, likely due to valid concerns from more educated church members, all of the sites
deleted the video from their pages.
It now resides only on the "Lifey Missions" YouTube channel, where it continues to be
found by gullible members and shared without fact checking.

Glitter Wedding Letters | DIY Wedding Décor | Country Hill Cottage - Duration: 2:51.
In this craft tutorial, we show how to make DIY monogram letters!
We use large paper mache letters and show different techniques to paint the letters,
apply glitter and decorate them with silk flowers.
Monogram letters make fabulous wedding décor to display the initials of the bride and groom.
You can use them as table decoration or hang them as a wall ornament.
This tutorial is part of your Spring at Sizergh wedding collection, which includes wedding
stationery, DIY decorations and wedding favour ideas.
Links to the collection and written instructions of this project are below the video.
To colour the letters, paint the top, sides and back with acrylic paint using a foam brush.
Don't dilute the paint with water as not soften the paper mache.
Apply the brush strokes in the same direction to create an even texture and redo areas where
the paper mache shows through the paint.
Alternatively, use spray paint.
Spray the paint lightly form a distance of approximately 30 centimeters or 12 inces in
a slow application.
You may have to apply several coats for an even finish.
Let the paint completely dry.
Brush a thin layer of white glue to the front of the letter.
Generously apply glitter to the area you covered with glue and shake off any excess.
Work in small sections so the glue doesn't dry before you can sprinkle on glitter.
You can repeat this process also on the sides, but we preferred the look of having two contrasting
textures.
Remove the silk flowers from the stems.
Add a small dot of hot glue to the back and place them in little groupings on the letters.
It's a good idea to lay the flowers out beforehand so you know how much you need and
where to put them.

Sir William Henry Perkin - Everything You Need to Know about Chemist Sir William Henry Perkin. - Duration: 1:42.
Sir William Henry Perkin was a great scientist and British chemist best known for his accidental
discovery of the first aniline dye: the purple mauveine.
Born in England on March 12th, 1838, chemist Sir William Henry Perkin accidentally discovered
"mauveine," the first synthetic dye.
Sir William Henry Perkin, FRS was born on 12th March 1838 and died on 14th July 1907.
He was a British chemist best known for his accidental discovery of the first aniline
dye: the purple mauveine.
Though failing in trying to synthesise quinine for the treatment of malaria, he became successful
in the field of dyes after his discovery at the age of 18.
William Perkin was born in the East End of London, the youngest of the seven children
of George Perkin, a successful carpenter.
His mother, Sarah, was of Scottish descent but moved to east London as a child.
He was baptised in the parish church of St Paul's, Shadwell, which had been connected
to such luminaries as James Cook, Jane Randolph Jefferson (mother of Thomas Jefferson) and
John Wesley.
At the age of 14, Perkin attended the City of London School, where he was taught by Thomas
Hall, who fostered his scientific talent and encouraged him to pursue a career in chemistry.
In 1853, at the precocious age of 15, Perkin entered the Royal College of Chemistry in
London (now part of Imperial College London), where he began his studies under August Wilhelm
von Hofmann.

Paris Jackson Asks Fans To Stop Editing Her Skin Color To Make Her Look 'More White' - Duration: 1:59.
Paris Jackson has a message for her fans.
The 19-year-old actress took to Twitter on Tuesday night to ask her followers to please
stop editing her skin color.
"I appreciate everything y all make for me.
I enjoy every single edit I see.
But please stop lightening my skin to make me look more white," she tweeted.
"And please stop darkening my skin to make me look more mixed.
I am what I am.
I'm aware of what I look like and I [am] finally happy with it."
Paris, whose parents are the late Michael Jackson and Debbie Rowe, has previously spoken
about her racial identity, telling Rolling Stone last year, "I consider myself black."
"[My dad] would look me in the eyes and he'd point his finger at me and he'd be like, 'You're
black.
Be proud of your roots.'
And I'd be like, 'OK, he's my dad, why would he lie to me?'" she explained.
"Most people that don't know me call me white.
I've got light skin and, especially since I've had my hair blond, I look like I was
born in Finland or something."
For now, Paris is focusing on her acting career and has a role in the action-comedy, "Gringo."
ET caught up with the film's star, Charlize Theron, at the premiere this week, where she
opened up about working with the rising star.
