They have to really, really want to believe because the archeological and genetic evidence is not with them.
Here is the statement of the Smithsonian Institution regarding the BoM:
http://www.utlm.org/onlineresources/smithsonianletter.htmHere is the Smithsonian's supporting evidence for its position:
http://www.utlm.org/onlineresources/smithsonianletter2.htm"...none of the principal Old World domesticated food plants or animals (except the dog) occurred in the New World in pre-Columbian times. American Indians had no wheat, barley, oats, millet, rice, cattle, pigs, chickens, horses, donkeys, camels before 1492. (Camels and horses were in the Americas, along with the bison, mammoth, and mastodon, but all these animals became extinct around 10,000 B.C. at the time when the early big game hunters spread across the Americas.)"
"...Iron, steel, glass, and silk were not used in the New World before 1492 (except for occasional use of unsmelted meteoric iron). Native copper was worked in various locations in pre-Columbian times, but true metallurgy was limited to southern Mexico and the Andean region, where its occurrence in late prehistoric times involved gold, silver, copper, and their alloys, but not iron."
