President Russell M. Nelson stated:
“Whether truth emerges from a scientific laboratory or through revelation, all truth emanates from God. All truth is part of the gospel of Jesus Christ.”1

True science, divine revelation and biblical historical facts should all converge on the same body of Truth. Do the findings of science support our faith? Do we see harmony between the discoveries of science and Moses’s account of creation, a global flood which cleansed the earth and other details of our faith as found in Genesis and other scripture? While conclusions of scientists may be limited by the capacity of the human mind and confined to mortal experience, new factual details from science are emerging, and others have been known that boldly testify of the divinity of scripture complementing and supporting our faith. The mind now unconflicted, the heart all the more ready to receive the pure testimony of the spirit.

What difference at this point does it make? If my testimony is strong either way, why does it make any difference? In just the 20th century hundreds of millions of lives have been snuffed out, aided by a materialistic philosophy supposedly rooted in science – that supposed science now fundamentally challenged by facts powerfully supporting the gospel principle which “proclaims man to be the direct and LINEAL offspring of Deity."2 Come join us for a fascinating discussion of science supporting the words of the prophets.

1) General Conference Talk "Let Your Faith Show", Russell M. Nelson April 2014
2) From the Official Doctrinal Statement from the First Presidency "The Origin of Man" Reprinted Feb 2002 Ensign with the 2002 first presidency endorsement that this "expresses the Church's doctrinal position on these matters."

We will be discussing science findings and also some of the words of the prophets on this topic. This fireside is planned and organized by Vincent Newmeyer. It is not an official church function or meeting of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Evolution and Creation - LDS Prophets and Apostles Doctrinal Proclamations and Statements

This video contains only official statements from latter-day prophets and apostles of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and from the scriptural statements of Jesus Christ himself. These LDS Church authorities answer questions like: What is "The Origin of Man"? Do Adam and Eve really stand as the sole progenitors of the human race? Did Adam evolve from lower forms of life? Can one harmonize Moses's creation account found in Genesis and other LDS scripture on Creation with Darwin's theory of Evolution? What is the " 'Mormon' View on Evolution "? Has Darwinian evolution been addressed in General Conference talks? How should we respond when modern "science" conflicts with Church doctrine?
