So who are these LDS scholars?

There are lots of them. The late Hugh Nibley is considered the father of LDS scholarship on the BoM. The organization at BYU called FARMS has published a lot of scholarly research. I think it concentrates now on preserving ancient texts around the world.

Yeah I just looked him up and he seems to think Egyptians were Mormons too.
 
Or idiocy in interpreting what is being said. Read the Book of Moses where Moses is shown the universe and see if you still think that.

It is hubris to believe that the universe was made for humans to look at the pretty lights in the sky. It's too silly.
 
Again this is a really weak argument. Evidence should be analyzed alone without being dismissed because of the presenter of said evidence.

And when you get some independent verification, we can talk. But churches for centuries have been making things up and claiming them to be true. This is old hat.
 
The revenge of imaginary creatures is not a problem.

There is nothing imaginary about the great, powerful, and benevolent Lord Xenu!
 
Was he the one who gave Smith the magic stones?

No, the Thetans did that to spread misinformation and confuse humans so they would not come to know the glory and benevolence of Lord Xenu.
