Look again carefully, do you contend that it was "reformed Eygptian" that first used the "caractors" 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 ??????????????????????????

The writings of people of that time are filled with mis-spelled words, according to our standards. You have to understand that only the upper 10% of the population of that time had formal education. But let's assume you have a valid point, anyway. The phonetic spelling of "caractors" really just points up how little formal education JS had (3rd grade). Yet he wrote a book (The Book of Mormon) that yet has to be proven false. How do you account for that, Kevin? In fact, the more you read it, the more it becomes clear it has tremendous internal consistency. Considering that he wrote it in such a short length of time, I'd say it was nothing short of a miraculous achievement.
