(1) The BOM imposes that the Nephites were a completely literate society. And then there was regression to orality.

(2) Absence of archeological evidence

(3) DNA evidence contradicting BOM claims of Jews settling in the New World 

(4) Anachronisms (steel, horses, chariots, wheat, silk, sheep, etc). Also New Testament teachings occurring before Christ. 

(5) Battles with implausible army sizes (including battles around Hill Cumorah)

(6) Racist teachings and curse of dark skin. 

(7) Large sections are copied from the KJV of the Bible. Also see long ending of Mark and Deuteroisaiah issues.

(8) The BOM is a product of the 19th century. It addresses religious issues from the time period. The anti-christs represent common philosophical objections to Christianity from the 1800s. An anti-masonic theme is prevalent.

(9) Doctrinal problems, most notably teachings on the Godhead (some verses were even changed). The description of heaven/hell is incongruent with LDS theology. Does not include many key LDS teachings.

(10) Implausibility of travel to the New World as described in the Book of Mormon (Jaredite barges and Nephi's ship)
