The Book of Mormon

I just finished reading the Book of Mormon.

This time I read it with a different mindset. I wasn't reading with the normal Book of Mormon goal:

 I was reading with the question "What in the book of Mormon is true?"

It was a really fun read and I noticed things that I hadn't before. There were things in the Book of Mormon that I cannot verify as true like the location of Nephite and Lamanite cities. But, based on all the truth that I can verify I am going to say that the Book of Mormon is true.

This time reading was similar to how I read a physics textbook. I can verify certain things based of my experience with the world, and there are certain things that I am going to have to take on faith because I am not going to do the experiment myself.

I am not going to go on an archaeological dig to find some buried Nephite city, I will just assume they are there.
