Evolution And The Restoration: Can They Be Reconciled?

  1. 1. Is Darwinian evolution irreconcilable with revealed religion?

    • Yes, evolution is a creative process like the formation of stars and planets.

    • No. No matter how one tries to force it, it's still a square peg in a round hole.

  3. 3. If Adam and Eve and the fall of man are a myth, does this negate the need for a Savior and Redeemer?

Now in a certified place of learning like BYU, should Darwinian evolution be taught as a theory, a fact, or both? And if taught as fact, should or professors of religion also be teaching that Adam and Eve and the fall of man also is FACT?

I've watched the FairLDS videos of Steven Peck on evolution and am unclear as to his views. Certainly he has expertise in this field, but as a priesthood holder, he's also a priest of the Most High. Does he have to wear one hat during his lectures at school and another hat when he addresses the saints in his latter capacity, or can he wear both at the same time? 

Man was made in the image of GOD. It's a proven design that doesn't need working up to. It just is. If Darwin began with a premise of intelligent design as we LDS understand it, would his theory still have been workable? And today, if we interject God into the equation, can we explain the findings of anthropologists that are currently used to sustain Darwinian evolution? 

What are your thoughts?
