==Criticism==
 
Critics claims that description of "a river’s running into a ''fountain''" in 1 Nephi is absurd.{{ref|bachelor.1}}
 
 
 
{{CriticalSources}}
 
 
 
==Response==
 
 
 
[http://scriptures.lds.org/en/search?search=fountain&do=Search All instances] of "fountain" in 1 Nephi describe either:
 
* the Red Sea (rivers surely run to the sea)
 
* the fountain near the Tree of Life in Lehi's dream, from which the river flows.
 
 
 
==Conclusion==
 
 
 
The criticism is based on a shallow reading of the text.
