What evidence 'backs up' ANYTHING in the book of mormon?

So you don't believe the BIBLE either.

I believe it--and the Biblical text testifies to the reality of the Urim and Thummim:

YES THE BIBLE DOES testify to the reality of the Urim and Thummim; JUST NOT THAT THE ROCK IN JOEY SMITH'S HAT BEING the urim and thummim. ALL joey had in his hat was a rock. No urim or thummim anywhere in joey's possession.

Joey was 'talking through his hat' (telling fairytales) when he was gazing at his peepstone.

SUPERS***IOUS NONSENSE, NOT BIBLICAL IN ANY WAY.

joey was a fraud, a shyster, a known peepstone gazer, a common criminal and a heretic.

Nothing more.

NOBODY ANYWHERE EVER 'translated' text by peeping at a rock in his hat.

Joey smith's dishonest word is all you have regarding ANY of your 'mormon-specific' junk.

And anything resembling 'evidence' of it outside of his head. . .'poof!' disappears.

You have no plates to check the translation of
You have no 'reformed Egyptian' to check it with
You have no 'urim & thummim' to show us
You have NOT ONE SINGLE WORD translated by anyone else to vouch for joey's translation.

NOTHING.

ALL you have is the conman joey smith's word that it ever REALLY existed!.
