There are books worth to read many times. Ask Blixa.

Are you suggesting that the DaVinci code is not a reliable source of information about the Catholic Church? Its been one of my primary references in my research on Christianity, along with the sophisticated, objective analysis provided by scholars like Hitchens and Harris.

It's about as reliable a source as the Catholic church itself is.
Infallible? I hope so or otherwise I'm going to have to rewrite my entire PhD dissertation on the role of albino assassin monks in 14th century papal elections.

I don't know your background so I don't know if you're joking or serious about the idea that the Catholic church is infallible.
If you're joking, then lol.
If you're serious, then LMAO.
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.
in my opinion, That is the best geography setting for the Book of Mormon.
Malay Penninsula Theory
This one is another relatively new theory. The theory is that the archeological findings in Mesoamerica do not support Book of Mormon civilizations and also that Lehi and company couldn’t feasibly make the journey 16,000 miles to the Americas. Therefore, they landed on the Malay Penninsula , which is in the area of Singapore and Thailand.
Thus the MODERN SYMBOL of ISRAEL (political symbol, David Star) is EXACTLY the same OLD SYMBOL OF ISRAEL (religious symbol, Menorah, Temple Symbol). There are many other ways to demonstrate the equivalence and also the equivalence with TREE OF LIFE (the very old past and the FUTURE DAYS, after the END OF DAYS). ELYSAB.
