Since there is no evidence of Jesus' miracles nor Joseph Smith's magic golden plates, are either of them credible in the least? What about Mohammad? Did we ever find that magic flying horse?

The so much compelling proof for me is that a lot of what we learn within the bible may also be demonstrated traditionally. The towns they speak approximately are there, the men and women truthfully existed (resources external the bible affirm those matters). When you seem on the booklet of Mormon, the locations which can be stated there, aren't archaeologically demonstrated (they do not exist). Also, in case you study the newspaper articles of what occurred to Joseph Smith, you'll learn an overly one of a kind account than the Mormons inform you. Finally, a lot of what the Mormons coach contradicts the Bible in lots of approaches. Oh, additionally Joseph Smith used to be a individual who played occult practices to get his "revelations". Therefore we can not rather believe what used to be discovered, notably while plenty of what's within the booklet of mormon, simply charges King James Version English, even concept the declare is that the capsules have been historic Ethiopian.

There is archaeological evidence for the Bible and none for the BOM.
There is anthropological evidence supporting the Bible and none for the BOM. (ie Lehites and Nephites being the ancestors of Indians)
There is so much more that I dont' have time to get into. The Bible is credible and the Book of Mormon is not from any way you look at it.

The bible has a passage that says"great is the faith of those that see and believe, but greater is the faith of those who have not seen and believe". If you want cold hands on tangible evidence then I don't believe you are going to get it. Another important passage to consider, "for it is by grace you have been saved through faith and not that of yourselves lest any man should boast" You see salvation is a free gift of God, that's the grace part(unmerited favour) and the faith is our part, we need to have the faith to believe Jesus can forgive us for our sins by His death on the cross.Why do we need to be forgiven for our sins? so as when we die we can go before God who is pure and holy and cannot abide sin in His presence, why was Jesus sacrifice sufficient for the sins of the world? because He was perfect and never once sinned therefor He was the perfect acceptable sacrifice. Where do we get the faith from? the Bible says" faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God". It is our choice to accept Christ which is eternity with God or reject Christ which means eternal separation from God. Now the book of the mormon is no different than the Quaran, not of God and written after the fact, it is man made. God's word says it cannot be added to nor taken away from. You choice my friend, it's a big decision !

I'd like to point out that your question is offensive and uninformed. I point that out in the hopes that you are just ignorant, rather than deliberately rude.
Joseph Smith translated sacred records which were written on gold plates. There are witnesses who saw the plates and handled them. There were witnesses to the miracles that Jesus performed. We also have the testimony of millions of people who have prayed to God to know if these things are true, and God answered their prayers.

They have equal credibility. Which is zero.
