Another list about the Book of Mormon, can you believe that?

Things you need to believe, if you are to be able to believe the Book of Mormon.

The first three are fine, I hold to and believe in.

1/ The existence of God. 

2/ The divinity of Christ. 

3/ The existence of angels. 

The others I will need help with, feel free to post comments as to why these are so by all means. 

4/ That Joseph Smith translated this by dictation, looking at a stone.

5/ That there is such a language as Reformed Egyptian. 

6/ That the Book of Isaiah was written before Lehi left Jerusalem. 

7/ That the abundance of New Testament quotes or allusions are 'decision' translations on Joseph's part. 

8/ That the animals that do not exist but mentioned here are examples of 'loan shifting.'

9/ That any connection between this and other contemporary documents is purely circumstantial, and the witnesses pointing out the similarity are 'led' in their testimony. 

10/ That Native Americans are, at least in some way, of Hebrew ancestry. 

11/ That baptism is not a ritual from christian descent, but initiated by Nephi, 500 years before John the Baptist. 

12/ That ziff is an unknown kind of metal

13/ That references to barley or wheat, are other crops. 

14/ That 'steel' is another alloy, like copper. 

Yes I started to get petty, and I could have continued on about bees, glass, swords, windows, 'things of curious workmanship', and so on, by my point is hopefully illustrated, but the list must be more than problematic as to the books veracity.
