Sitemap: Planetary Guide to the Cracked Planet of JeffLindsay.com

Site Map for the Cracked Planet of Jeff Lindsay

JeffLindsay.com used to be known as The Cracked Planet. The site is still cracked in plenty of ways, but one planet just wasn't enough. We're going universal. In any case, don't expect everything here to be down to earth. And if you enjoy any of this and start showing any of the mental symptoms associated with excessive browsing here, people are likely to ask, "What planet are you from?" Tell them you just came from JeffLindsay.com.

The Minus Y2K Bug
Y2K deja vu! It's old, but just as useless as it was in 1999 as the world braced for the end of all civilization at the dawn of a new millenmium of chaos. (Turns out there was nothing to worry about - total chaos and the end of sanity was a full 10 years away.) My Minus Y2K page helps keep you informed by reviewing the related disaster that toppled ancient Egypt (once just as advanced as we are today) and caused all the plagues that freed the Hebrew slaves. If it happened to Egypt then, it could happen to us. And maybe that's not so bad after all.

LDS Religion and Philosophy

LDS Web Pages
A list including most of my pages plus many of my favorites from the rest of cyberspace. Also a brief review of a few of my favorite recent LDS books.
Introduction to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ("Mormon Church")
Evidences for the Book of Mormon
A large and widely used page, frequently updated. One of my most important works, IMHO.
Book of Mormon Nuggets
A collection of short articles dealing with further details of Book of Mormon evidences.
Introduction to the Book of Mormon
Mormon Answers (LDS FAQ) - Common Questions about Mormons and Mormon Belief
Fairly extensive, with links to many "LDS FAQ" pages. These pages give answers to frequently asked questions about Latter-day Saint beliefs. This is based on my e-mail correspondence with numerous inquirers (and critics). My own views--so beware! This now includes answers to questions about love, marriage, and morality.
Questions about Science and Mormon Doctrine
One Day in the Life of Joseph Smith, Translator Extraordinaire of the Book of Mormon
My satirical script for a skit dealing with allegations that Joseph Smith plagiarized from numerous sources in preparing the Book of Mormon.
Was the Book of Mormon Plagiarized from Modern Writings?
A detailed discussion of many allegations made against the Book of Mormon. A related satirical page is "Was the Book of Mormon Plagiarized from Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass?"
Book of Mormon Problems #4: Biblical Scholarship (e.g., Documentary Hypothesis) versus the Book of Mormon?
Examines some apparent clashes between modern biblical scholarship and the Book of Mormon, such as the notion that the Exodus theme woven into Nephi's account is anachronistic because modern scholars think the Exodus story was a late fabrication that someone like Nephi could not have alluded to in 600 B.C. Also looks at the problem of Nephi citing passages of Isaiah that many scholars think were written long after 600 B.C. by "Deutero-Isaiah."
My Turn
Tough questions I'd like to ask of LDS critics for a change.
Does DNA Evidence Refute the Book of Mormon?
A lengthy and heavily documented article (260 kB of text, about 80 pages or so) in my LDSFAQ area dealing with the controversial issue of DNA evidence and the Book of Mormon. Specifically, I address the bogus claim that DNA testing of Native Americans proves that the migrations described in the Book of Mormon did not occur. A PDF version of this article has been posted at the Church's newsroom website (archived).
The LDS Perspective on Adam and the Fall
Did Adam thwart God's plan? Is this mortal life of ours just a mistake? What is the nature of the Fall and the need for the Messiah, Jesus Christ?
Ancient Records Offer New Support for the Book of Abraham--New!
Surveys some of the vast body of ancient documents that confirm numerous details in the Book of Abraham that are not found in the Bible, and could not have been known to Joseph Smith. This is actually Part 3 of three pages dealing with common questions and objections to the Book of Abraham. Part 1 deals primarily with questions about the source of the Book of Abraham, including a discussion of the original scrolls and the existing papyrus fragments, as well as the Egyptian papers. Part 2 deals with the content of the book and Joseph Smith's comments on three Egyptian drawings that have been attached to the published Book of Abraham.
2 Nephi 12 and the Septuagint: Evidence for Fraud or Authenticity in the Book of Mormon?
Deals with interesting internal evidence for authenticity of the Book of Mormon found in 2 Nephi 12, which quotes Isaiah 2. In my research, I found some interesting (but still tentative) examples of what appear to be an authentic Hebrew poetical form in the Book of Mormon known to scholars as "paired tricola"--a form unrecognized in Joseph Smith's day. Take a look and let me know your thoughts. Posted July 1, 2001.
Love, Dating, Marriage, and Morality
A new LDSFAQ page answering common questions about dating, marrying in or out of the Church, morality, and so forth. These topics have resulted in many questions recently--often from non-LDS people dating Mormons. I hope this page will help. Expect many more answers to be added soon.
Mercy and Justice in the Book of Mormon: Ancient or Modern Concepts?
My response to critics who assert that the profound discourse on justice and mercy in the Book of Mormon is too modern for an ancient Semitic text.
Latter-day Saints and the Covenant Framework of the Gospel: An Ancient Perspective Restored
A page that compares the solid covenant-based theology of the restored Church of Jesus Christ with that of early Christianity and Judaism.
Chiasmus in the Book of Mormon
Critics can't explain this one away!
The Book of Mormon and Metal Plates
Powerful modern evidence for the authenticity of the Book of Mormon.
Response to the Smithsonian Institution's 1996 Statement Regarding the Book of Mormon
This page deals with the rather sloppy but widely circulated statements made by a department at the Smithsonian Institution--but made without the benefit of adequate knowledge of either Mesoamerica or the Book of Mormon. The Smithsonian Statement is embarrassingly out of date and needs significant revision. Many issues are covered, including transoceanic voyaging and allegedly missing items such as silk.
The Book of Mormon Challenge
Is the book a fraud? What would be involved in pulling off such a fraud? Find out yourself with this simple test, if you're brave.
Is the Book of Mormon a fraud?

Religious Implications of the Placebo Effect
My talk on entropy and constancy
The Word of Wisdom--The LDS Health Code
Text of the 1833 revelation to Joseph Smith forbidding the use of tobacco, alcohol, tea, and coffee, and providing nutritional guidelines with an emphasis on grains.

Controversy and opinion

My opinions--but based on factual foundations (in my opinion, anyway). These opinions are not necessarily those of Carl Sagan, Madonna, Bill Clinton, or Rush Limbaugh, but give them time....

My Father's Story: Betrayed by the United Nations in the Korean War
A lesson in modern warfare and a warning for today.
The Problem with Block Scheduling
Perhaps my most heavily used Web page--certainly in the top 5. THis has been a resource to school districts all over the country in better understanding the downside to a popular educational fad.

My page of tribute. An Oneida reservation is near my town of Appleton, Wisconsin.

Education

Public education--some concerns
Public education can be wonderful, but parents should not be blind to some of the problems.
The Problem with Block Scheduling
Hard data show the folly of this popular fad--replacing current high school schedules with fewer, longer class periods. Updated regularly. This page grew so large that it has been split into five parts (the link above is for Part 1). There is also an additional page giving my response to critics of Dr. Bateson's studies and of my page.
What the Data Really Show: Direct Instruction is Best
My page, based on a research review by Dr. Jeffrey M. Jones. Includes a discussion of Project Follow Through, the largest educational study ever. We can't afford to ignore the results of that study.
American Collage Network for Educators (ACNE)
A parody page I created about a support group to encourage secondary education teachers to keep on using COLLAGE as an all-purpose educational tool. ACNE is a fictitious organization, but the concerns behind it are real--though overblown. The prevalence of collage for homework assignments and class projects in high school is one of the smaller problems in the world of education--but I still had fun with this page. Be sure to check out the real collage there, too.

Appleton, Wisconsin--my town!
