The same question should be "has anyone tried to recreate the constitution of the USA" or for that matter the Bible, both Old and New (which shows to we that Joseph Smith stole a lot of the ideas from the Bible or other 'moral' works. If anything, the Koran would prove that any religion can claim authority by length and supposed morality. COULD THE BOOK OF MORMON BE THE SAME ATTEMPT AS THE KORAN??? or any other spiritual book???

If anybody could write the Book of Mormon, as we have been so often assured, it is high time that somebody, some devoted and learned minister of the gospel, let us say, performed the invaluable public service of showing the world that it can be done." - Hugh Nibley
