Well, when you make something up like that, these kinds of things are bound to happen.

Could it possibly be because, like L. Ron Hubbard's "Dyanetics", the Book of Mormon is the creation solely of mortal imagination? Now watch the slings and arrows of outrage fly....(with all due respect to the Bard)

Because, like the Bible, the Book of Mormon is a fantasy novel. The Bible is just better researched.

Because it is a very cleverly constructed piece of 19th Century fiction. If you view the book from that vantage point it's actually a rather interesting study. However, as several researchers have pointed out the geography of the Book of Mormon DOES match the upper New York area very nicely: http://www.bookofmormonlands.com/ http://www.mazeministry.com/mormonism/holley/holleymaps.htm Of course they haven't found a lick of Archeological, linguistic, or Anthropological evidence to support the Book of Mormon (thus proving that it IS a work of fiction) but the author(s) used the geography of Upstate New York wonderfully in weaving their narrative.
