So you think that since they talk about their family tree and that it repopulated the world, then it must be true? What if other texts were found to say that theirs did, or another culture did, what would you say then? Just because they list a family tree doesn't mean anything.
The point is if there is no other list like it, it goes to show that 1) the list given in the Bible remains unique in and of itself, & 2) that men and all the things they could write about just don't take the time to sit there and come up with detailed lists of things like that.
And even if you did find another list, the question then becomes, will it prove to be anywhere near as highly accurate as the account given in the Bible? Whether yes or no, the Bible still wins.
So....just because you choose to be a skeptic that does not make the account given in the book of Genesis false.

Who knows where? I don't, you don't, scientists don't. Only the holder of the book could ever know and they're all long gone. You don't think it being dated to 300BC is proof enough?
If the book was written by Enoch and the earliest mention of the book dates back to 300BC then we have a major problem. That would mean that the book was written before the global flood, which would mean it would have had to survive
that and that would make it the oldest piece of scripture known to man, predating even the writings of Moses who wrote the Torah (Genesis - Deuteronomy). And since there is no mention of the book before 300BC that would mean that the book mysteriously went 'missing' allllll those years, then popped up out of nowhere...In addition to God promising His word would not disappear Jesus stated
"Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled" (Matthew 5:17-18). but the 'book of Enoch' went AWOL all the way until a few centuries before the church was established. That is not a trait that the writings of God have. I think i can rest my case on these points alone.

Do you think it's duck tales? Because it coincides with ancient people as well, do you know that? The part where it talks about the knowledge being shared with the humans and these "angels" or what these ancients called them then, "GODS" mated with them as well. So not only do we have The BOOK of ENOCH saying they mated with people on earth AND shared info with them about the stars, building etc, the ancients say the SAME exact thing. So it's written in the book of Enoch and told by people here on earth, same shit bro. Insane right? They were called GODS though, not angels though. Either way, it's very crazy. And Book of Enoch is proof enough because it has evidence to back it up by other cultures telling the same exact stories.
Nope, i didn't know that...but i sincerely don't think there's a need to know much else about the book given the circumstances if you know what i'm saying. And the part you brought up is in Chapter 6 of 'the book of Enoch' which you left out the mentioning of wives...it says
"And the angels, the children of the heaven, saw and lusted after them, and said to one another: 'Come, let us choose us wives from among the children of men " directly contradicting the words of Jesus who said '"For when they rise from the dead,
they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven" (Mark 12:25). I thought you said the book of Enoch coincides with the Bible.
