Is the Book of Mormon a Statistical Miracle?

from The Christian Podcast Community

My Mormon bishop friend recently presented a lecture about how statistics show that the Book of Mormon defies naturalistic explanations. How did Joseph Smith as a "subsistence farmer" write something so amazing and long in only 65 days?Let's jump into some of these statistical claims to see if the Book of Mormon is truly a miracle and that it shows that Joseph Smith had to be translating an ancient record.Sources Cited:"The Insane Statistical Impossibility of the Book of Mormon’s Origin | Matt Vallejo"Pomeroy Tucker, Origin, rise, and progress of Mormonism (pp. 17-18)Dan Vogel, Early Mormon Documents (p. 130)"Captain Kidd: Joseph Smith's hero?"
