That is your opinion, against which we have the testimonies of three witnesses that it was "translated by the gift and power of God, for His voice hath declared it unto us", and the testimonies of eight witnesses who saw the plates and the engravings thereon, and who handled and hefted the plates. I prefer their real testimonies, which they never denied, to your present opinion, which may have to change in the light of future discoveries.

 Oh!  So do WE!!

2 Corinthians 11:12-15

 12.  But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we.
 13.  For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
 14.  And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
 15.  Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
