No... the Human Genome Project has discredited the book of mormon.

This website has plenty of pictures, a discussion forum and a few more articles.
I like the website... http://www.the-book-of-mormon.com
Most people say that the Book of Mormon can't be true because there is no map or towns called by that name. Actually there is a mountain in South America called Moroniha and a river called Nephiha. According to the local people those names have been there always.
If you want a really good CD about all of this try to find
"The Trial of the Stick of Joseph"
Also Jeff Lindsay's site is awesome as well. And you can always visit the FARMS website (Foundation for Ancient Research and Mormon Studies) they have good info as well.

It has been almost 170 years since Joseph Smith first published the Book of Mormon. To date, there is not one artifact that can be identified as being made by the people of the Book of Mormon. Also, there is no official map designating the location of any Book of Mormon city. Joseph Smith preserved an example of the supposed writing on the plates. No other sample of such writing has ever been found in the Americas. The Mormons point to the great Mayan ruins to establish that there was at one time a great civilization in southern Mexico and Guatemala. However, the Maya had their own pagan religion and history that has no connection to the supposed Book of Mormon people.

Hey! I'm anti-Mormon and I want you to see the sites listed above along with farms.byu.edu. First of all they confirmed what the anti-Mormons had been saying all along. Second, their rationalizations were so unbelievable that I felt embarrassed for them. I've been through them all and they gave me the sneaking suspicion that I wasn't getting the straight dope. It was the beginning of the end for me! Great place to start!

Here's one
Google "Hopewell Indians"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLNG6oXB51c&mode=related&search=
Also Google "Lehi Stone" and "Questaqoatl"
If you know Book of Mormon Stories than you can put 2 and 2 together otherwise you will be lost in translation.

There is a lot more than the anti-Mormons want to see, or want you to believe.

lol. no of course not. The religious always say that type of crap. Its a desperate effort on their part to justify their religion to others who are more scientifically minded.
Just because some real places and names are mentioned doesnt make the whole thing fact.
Harry Potter mentions London but we all know its not real.
