         It strikes me as no more silly than God getting a virgin pregnant and then letting his son be tortured.

                           The bible is not a religion, it is the Word of God. Religion causes separation.
                           Mormons view on the bible 1Nephi (the book of Mormon) 13:29 because of these things which are taken away out of the gospel of the Lamb (the Bible), an exceedingly great many do stumble, yea, insomuch that Satan hath great power over them.
                           They believe that the bible cause people to stumble, fall, that it is not the truth. That is what they think of the bible.

         I see your point. Since there is only life on Earth. This is impossible. I am reminded of what Samuel Clemens said about the book of Mormon after he read it, "The real miracle was that John Smith could stay awake long enough to write it."
         
         I found it to be contrived with Jesus settling questions of doctrine and theology that did not surface until after the reformation. Still, Mormons make good neighbors and I keep my petty doubts to myself.

            They get in your door by using what people know (the bible). then when they have their hooks on you they tell you that the bible is not fully true so here is this other book(the Book of Mormon) the "truer then true,"  "the full truth"
            Just like others that started their own cults.

   As far as plausability goes nothing is. All that is, is that you are. Everything else is hear or see say. Research God on your own account, for what can be found in a book cant be found in the begining. Made from a rib, sure why not, its like saying we came from a dark hole (vagina).  All the worlds species in 1 boat sure, a vitamin holds "all" minerals.

      Except I have actually seen mammals come out of vaginas, so I know that can happen. And a vitamin does not hold all minerals, nor would that relate in any way to the impossibility of the ark story.
      
      I did my own research.  I read the Bible.  Meh.  I see no objective reason to say one flavor of J-C deism is more rational or more silly than the other.
      
      If you want to have faith in something that means you just believe it no mater how irrational it may seem.  I'm cool with that, but the right extends equally to Mormons. Saying they believe silly stuff is to overlook the log in your own eye.

   What can hold all of all, let alone all of small for who is to say it is all of all.

   I concur, the view isnt what thats important. The absense of faith is where its at. Just getting out of bed without looking at the ground, knowing its there, is enough.
