If you have to sum up the major problems exclusive to The Book of Mormon (meaning the document itself), what would they be?

I have so far come up with:

1- Pressence of steel
2- Anachronistic animals
3- Subscription to Genesis stories
4- Unprecedented number of combatants and deaths

I don't want to debate them, I am just curious if I am missing any other major problems?

Instead of your 1 & 4, I'd go with the influence of the KJV on it and the complete mismatch between the archeological record of Mesoamerica and it.

Thanks rpcman. I wanted to keep the discussion I was working on exclusive to the book itself, instead of focussing on the myriad of things that appear to be fallacious. Your link does provide some of that information, and I appreciate it. I just wondered if I was missing anything from my rather sparse list.

How about all the anachronistic quotations from the New Testament, Malachi, Deutero-Isaiah, etc? Scriptures that couldn't possibly have been part of the brass plates.

There are also some major problems reconciling the book with Old World chronology -- for example, Christ couldn't possibly have been born 600 years after the reign of Zedekiah (Herod was already long dead by then). William

William,
This is a very bizarre coincidence. Just yesterday, having never read anything you've posted here, I was on your Web site. A friend sent me an e-mail about a strange service provided by a company called Coincidence Design. I did a Web search trying to find out if it was a hoax and your Web site was one of the few that came up.

Then today, I clicked on your name in this post and it took me back to the same site. What are the odds of that?

Kindly,
Brian
