Blake Ostler vs. Simon Southerton on DNA and the Book of Mormon

Simon Southerton has been recently interviewed on the Gospel Tangents youtube, and his interview will be posted, in segments, there, beginning with the following:

Simon Southerton Talks DNA, Excommunication

Sadly, Southerton remains as intellectually disingenuous as ever. For a thorough beat-down of Southerton's weak arguments, see Blake Ostler,  "Simon Says, But That Doesn't Make It So (letter to the editor)." Sunstone 139 (November 2005): 4–8.

Blake Ostler has also written the following articles on the topic of DNA and the Book of Mormon for those interested:

"Assessing the Logical Structure of DNA Arguments Against the Book of Mormon." Sunstone 135 (December 2004): 70–72.

"Responses to Letters to the Editor." Sunstone 136 (March 2005): 3–8.

"DNA Strands in the Book of Mormon." Sunstone 137 (May 2005): 63-71.
