On a related note, the Church has four new short responses to questions on religion and science. https://newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org/article/new-gospel-library-resources-answer-questions-race-women-science I was asked to write about those in historical context, here. https://www.sltrib.com/religion/2025/04/20/lds-church-science-religion-can-be/

This has been several years in the making. Free pdf available from https://lifesciences.byu.edu "read more." Hardcover coming soon from BYU. Lots of chapters in here from LDS and a few non-LDS scholars, on the science, yes, but also LDS history and scripture. I have two chapters, one on the contexts of the 1909 and 1925 First Presidency statements (which did not intend to put evolutionary science out of bounds) and one on death before the fall.
