This claim is largely denied by scholars, both Mormon and non-Mormon, because of the testimonies of several people who saw or handled the ancient plates, and because modern writing evaluation technology has concluded that the Book of Mormon could not have been written by a single man (especially one with next to no literary edcuation, as Joseph Smith had).
