I find it immensely more likely that Joseph Smith had a dream, an hallucination, or made it up than that a resurrected person who had died about 1800 years earlier came back with his father, the Creator of the universe to visit Joseph Smith. Actually, Smith's first version of the vision only said Jesus came to see him. His second version had "angels". It's only the last version, in which Jesus and Elohim came, that is promoted by the LDS church as being authentic.

Incredible claims require powerful evidence.
If I were God I would have provided a lot more evidence if I decided to come to Earth to establish My church.

Evidence for life-after-death is inadequate. I don't think even communication after death is possible.

I suggest you not trust anyone who claims to speak with the dead. They are either deceived or trying to deceive you.
