Nephi as Captain - Book of Mormon Evidence

The Book of Mormon, like the Bible, contains a record of God's dealings with a part of the House of Israel. It contains prophecies of Christ and also reveals how Christ, after his resurrection and ascension into heaven, later ministered to those who had waited for him in the New World. The Book of Mormon was anciently abridged by a prophet named Mormon and was engraved on gold plates, to preserve the sacred writing for a future time.

Joseph Smith received the divine commission to translate the gold plates through the power of God. The translation was published in 1830 as a volume of scripture, a sacred record.

We invite all people everywhere to read the Book of Mormon, to ponder in their hearts the message it contains, and then to ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if the book is true. Those who pursue this course and ask in faith will gain a testimony of its truth and divinity by the power of the Holy Ghost.

Those who gain this divine witness from the Holy Spirit will also come to know by the same power that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world, that Joseph Smith is his revelator and prophet in these last days, and that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the Lord's kingdom once again established on the earth, preparatory to the second coming of the Messiah.

"The Book of Mormon is true, just what it purports to be, and for this testimony I expect to give an account in the Day of Judgment." (Encyclopedia, 86-87) - Joseph Smith, Jr.

Wouldn't it be better for mormons just to take an allegorical view of the BoM? There is simply no evidence that this story is concrete reality.

D&C 93:29

Man was also in the beginning with God. Intelligence, or the light of truth, was not created or made, neither indeed can be.

Why wouldn't Satan be Jesus brother? Aren't we all heavenly brothers and sisters? Therefore even though Satan got kicked out of heaven he still is a spirit and is both Jesus and our brother think about it. God created us he created Satan, Jesus, you, me it's all there.

[Chichiri520]

When evidence against the BoM is presented, people feel it to be a threat and sugar coat their words or call those people "unbelievers". It's just a matter of religious chauvanism. They are afraid because they know that because of the lack of evidence (VALID, scientific and archaeological) will topple their religion. So you have to feel sorry for the. People will always believe in nonsense.
