This video, created by Book of Mormon Central,sums up the results of a recent study that analyzed the diverse writing styles of the authors of the Book of Mormon. The study also analyzed famous authors of the 19th century and the different writing or speaking styles of each character represented in their books. The video states, "Even if Joseph Smith had been a skilled and experienced writer, in order to fabricate the Book of Mormon, he would have needed an ability to create distinct fictional voices that surpassed some of the greatest novelists of his day."

While these findings may be fascinating, it is important to note that the truth of the Book of Mormon and its doctrine can be learned only through study and prayer—a fact no amount of scientific evidence can change.
