Exactly. Everybody knows that John the Baptist became the Headless Horseman, not one of the Three Nephites. Duh. “By the way, the Mormons believe that John the beloved still walks the Earth along with the three Nephites, not John the Baptist, who was beheaded.”

Remember thatit was God who set him apart and that God looketh on the heart and not on the outside (obviously not the exact scripture). To me, Cain was spirituallybscarred, shown everything there is to know, given the knowledge of what he'll miss out on and than being forced to live till the Second Coming of Christ. And just like he was lead by Satan to kill his brother, he lives to kill the spirits of his brothers and sisters to bring them as close to his state as he can. He's not "cursed" with a different skin tone, not cursed with a completly altered appearance like Bigfoot but rather cursed to walk the Earth for 6000 some years knowing what he did was wrong and being forced to live with it. I doubt highly the Lord would alter him in a way that could be used for fame or glory (in this weird way) Why does Cain have to be transformed into something that would set him physically apart from everyone else.

Couldn't travel to America from the Holy Land? If we're going to accept the existence of a Bigfoot/Cain, aren't we forgetting that he is cursed to live until the last days? He may suffer, but he cannot die. The flood is easy; he simply lived, miserably, underwater for 40 days and nights, unable to breathe, eating whatever fish came swimming by, presumably raw and possibly flopping around. If there were any mercy, he would be unconscious at least, but who knows with the nature of these God-curses? For travel to America, who needs a ship or leahona? He just revives his ocean-dweller act and trudges sorrowfully but resolutely across the Atlantic floor from Gibraltar to Newfoundland--say, about 3,000 miles. At an (optimistic) underwater walking pace of 2 mph, walking 18 hours per day (does he need to sleep? Rest?), he could make it in a moist three months. That's like one day to a guy who's been around 6,000 years and counting. Bigfoot/Cain couldn’t survive the flood? Couldn’t travel to America from the Holy Land?

I think the theory is that Satan helped Cain survive the flood. (There's already some other stories about good people preserved through the flood through heavenly intervention, so why not?) Another theory is that one of Noah's children married a descendant of Cain, thus at least perpetuating the curse. According to this blog, the Mormon church believes in the literal truth of a global flood. http://exmormonskeptic.blogspot.com/2007/05/lds-church-stands-or-falls-on-literal.html So, yeah, you do have to find some way to reconcile the two beliefs. But you're really asking, "Could god make a flood so large that he himself couldn't make Bigfoot survive it?" Scholars have spent centuries debating wackier questions...

I would just like to clear the air on the statement that bigfoot is a descendant of cain. May I remind you that after Adam, Eve, Cain and Abel there appeared in the Biblical text a man named Noah. In Noah's day the earth was flooded wiping out all except 7 and these seven were Noah's family. Therefore, unless Noah gathered a male and female bigfoot (Given Cain's character I find this highly unlikely) or unless bigfoot can tread water for 40 days and 40 nights, it is impossible for Bigfoot to be a descendant of Cain. As you can see the theory that bigfoot is Cain is purely the figment of an ignorant mind much like many of the "Revelations" Joseph Smith and later leaders had. Ahem!!!!
