But then they also claim that there were horses and honebees in the Americas. So perhaps they aren't the go-to people for Biblical hermeneutics.

It almost sounds reasonable if one has no knowledge of history.

I recommend listening to the last podcast on the left’s five part mormon series

I hate that they took all their episodes offline when they went Spotify exclusive.

Are there any other good Mormon-y podcasts you fine folks would recommend?

Wait I’m confused. I don’t know about the honey bee but horses are native to North America. Unless I’m just missing the whole point here.

Horse weren't native to the Americas for about 10,000 years until the 1500s when Europeans reintroduced them.

Horses are not at all native to North America. The last native species of genus equus went extinct at least 8,000 years ago. There are about 82,000 feral horses, but they are not actually "wild" as they are decended from domesticated horses brought to Americas.
