Daniel C. Peterson, as editor of FARMS Review, responds to Murphy's "Galileo Event" claims.
Daniel C. Peterson, "Editor’s Introduction: Of 'Galileo Events,' Hype, and Suppression: Or, Abusing Science and Its History," FARMS Review 15, no. 2 (2003): ix–lxi.
Abstract Introduction to the current issue, including editor’s picks. Peterson discusses the so-called Galileo event that some Book of Mormon critics believe will soon occur, thus expanding the separation between religion and science until religion subsides to science. He also addresses the lack of Near Eastern culture among Native Americans, a common argument against the authenticity of the Book of Mormon.
