Re:Mormon twist? (Score 1)

I doubt that the church would be bothered by that, since the Book of Mormon doesn't claim that the Nephites were the first people in the Americas. Even in the record of the Jaredites' arrival (at the time of the Tower of Babel) nobody says they were the first people there either. As for the age of the Earth, I have yet to meet any scientifically minded Mormon who believes the "six days" were anything other than undefined periods of time which put the earth at about 4.6 billion years old.
