To postulate that it, just kind of happened, is rediculous.
Everything about the temple has a reason for being. Everything has been carefully planed.
Orienting the whole temple towards the east and aligning it to the heavens but without concern for the orientation of the stars? CMON!
The Temple itself is "SQUARED to the STARS" but don't worry about those stars on the building,it is just a chance happening.
The Temple provides "Orientation for our journey in mortality" but it does not matter what it's oreintation of stars is? CMON!
Symbolic stones on the Temple's exterior represent the degrees of eternal glory and other gospel principles, but not what they are universally accepted as? (Inverted Pentagram is satanic)
"In 1878, a plan of the Temples exterior walls was purposely drafted to plot the exact location of each of the fifty moon-stones according to lunar
phase, month and year. This was determined by observations made that year in anticipation of the next seasons building program when the moon-stones were to be laid. The individual most capable of such an observation was Orson Pratt
In 1869, an astronomical observatory of wood and adobe was constructed specifically for him on the southeast corner of the Temple Block
