The old saying,"You just can't make this stuff up", not true, Joseph Smith did.

Maybe you have the story of how this was invented by Joseph Smith to appease his father after another son had died without baptism. Gotta give ole' J.Smitty credit, he had an imagination.

That is pretty much it. Joe’s bro, Alvin, died before Joseph claimed to have gotten the plates. There is some question whether the doctrine was to appease his father (a Universalist and occultist) or his mother (more mainstream but still occultist), but there is no denying that the doctrine developed as a result of the question that Alvin would be condemned to hell because he was not baptized.

Here is the Wiki article

And while not directly related, this article shows how the LDS version of events couldn’t have happened as they say it did (relating mostly to the first vision)
