Interesting.........
Unfortunately when you have been taught the world is flat you will live and believe accordingly. Doesn't the mormon bible have the book of Enoch? I will have to look, I think I have one of those somewhere. I believe where as we use maybe 1/8 of our brains, that Adam and Eve used all of theirs and were highly intelligent and mathmatically inclined, altho our knowledge has increased since Noah and all was destroyed, commom sense is a thing of the past and we get dumber by the decade. Adam and Eve were told immediately upon creation to go and replenish the earth, so my belief is that there was quite a population of the Sons of God before Cain and Abel, with Cain and Abel leaven was added to the human race thru the daughters of men (the off spring of Cain and Abel) and all mankind received a genetic portion eventually. Just my thoughts.

Uh, no; "The Mormon Bible" does not contain a Book of Enoch. Matter of fact, we (I'm one of those Mormons or Latter-day Saints) use the same Bible you do... King James Version, Starts with Genesis, ends with Revelations, with no Mormon additions in between.

In addition to the Holy Bible, we have the Book of Mormon but again, no Book of Enoch therein.

The Book of Enoch Belongs to that class of writings known as apocrypha. It was originally a Hebrew writing that was accepted by some as scripture but was ultimately rejected by the learned scholars, both Jewish and Christian, who formulated the canon. I personally believe that the version we have today contains a good bit of truth and a good bit of folk lore and myth. A foolproof test of the truthfulness of this book (or any book that purports to impart truth) is to read it carefully then go to God in earnest prayer. The Holy Ghost will not lead you astray but will manifest the truthfulness or falsity of that book to you.

While I'm om a roll, let me say in answer to another post, that to my knowledge, none of the LDS scriptures refer to the pyramids or their builders in any way.
