No one can give you evidence that doesn't exist.

Some Mormons are fond of Dr. J. Huston McCulloch's claims, thinking his ideas about the Bat Creek Stone and the Newark Holy stones are evidence. He is a professor at Ohio State University. But what the Mormons often don't point out is that he is an economics professor, not an archaeologist. Archaeologists strongly disagree with his conclusions. And the ancient Hebrew scholar Dr. Frank Moore Cross disagreed with Dr. McCulloch's ideas about the inscription on the Bat Creek Stone.
Ohio State University does not support the Book of Mormon. A single professor of Economics at that institution holds very controversial ideas that are not supported by linguistic and archaeological specialists in mainstream science. It is intellectually dishonest for Mormons to suggest that the academic institution of Ohio State supports the Book of Mormon.

Nobody can give you credible evidence supporting the Book of Mormon. If the Mormons had it, they would be sharing it. Instead, they tell their followers and potential converts to pray to God to get a warm fuzzy feeling about it.

colleges often have multiple websites. Even when I type in the ohio-state url it redirects me to osu.edu. I just did a brief search on their website but I didnt see anything that stuck out. Maybe list her reference would be useful.
