Please explain how Joseph a boy with three years of education wrote this huge book with systems of government, systems of weights and measures, societies, and geography from the Middle east that he could not have known all accurately portrayed, and never made a mistake in one pass, this being his first such work. Experienced writers cannot do that easily, or at all.

Thank you.

How are we doing? Am I sort of, kind of, not engaging in debate.....in an off handed way that may or may not offend someone?

Fine, prove it, here, I'll give you a "leg up" on that, Anti's have charged for years that Manuscript story by Solomon Spaulding, is the source for the book of Mormon, here is a link Manuscript Story.

I have read it, and anyone who has can tell you A) it's not the source for the Book of Mormon and B) Solomon Spaulding was not a very good author.

Now that said, calling someone a plagiarist is a serious charge, one you either need to back up, or retract.

Good luck, your going to need it.
