Restoring Creation:
Teachings of Latter-day Prophets against Evolution
Introductory Quote:
“In the first place, I wish to go back to the beginning—to the morn of creation. There is the starting point for us to look to, in order to understand and be fully acquainted with the mind, purposes and decrees of the Great Eloheim, who sits in yonder heavens as he did at the creation of the world. It is necessary for us to have an understanding of God himself in the beginning. If we start right, it is easy to go right all the time; but if we start wrong we may go wrong, and it will be a hard matter to get right.” -Joseph Smith, King Follett Sermon
About:
Restoring Creation (RichardsonStudies.com/Creation) is a non-profit resource to provide a collection of resources and writings defending the doctrines of the creation in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which are increasingly pestered with secular bids for supporting Darwinian evolution as the mechanism for the origin of life. This website is operated by Nate Richardson, contact rrnmailbox@gmail.com.
The prophet Jacob sums it up this way: “O that cunning plan of the evil one! O the vainness, and the frailties, and the foolishness of men! When they are learned they think they are wise, and they hearken not unto the counsel of God, for they set it aside, supposing they know of themselves, wherefore, their wisdom is foolishness and it profiteth them not. And they shall perish.” (2 Nephi 9:28)

Anonymous 1910 statement on evolution erroneously attributed to First Presidency. Take a look at some primary source documents that prove this statement was NOT by the First Presidency!

Will you Mock the Believers on the Evolution Question? This article discusses some stirring quotes from the brethren about attacks from insiders on our doctrine.
Scriptures got the Creation Order Wrong? This article discusses evolutionists’ claims about the sequence of scriptural creation events being the opposite of evolution theory, and why they’re dead wrong.
The BYU Evolution Packet Issues – This article discusses the required reading on the evolution controversy given to freshman biology students at BYU.
Man, His Origin & Destiny by Joseph Fielding Smith. At this page you’ll find the free PDF of this classic book, an article explaining what it is and the controversy surrounding it, and an article with a few of the best quotes from it, and a link for where to get the cheapest paperback.

Daniel Burdett Presentations & Articles – Daniel specializes in identifying advocacy of Darwinian Evolution in the Church, and contrasting that with teachings of the Latter-Day Saint prophets. At this page Daniel shares several of his presentations.
Dinosaurs in Scripture by Jeremy Michel – At this page I’ll talk about Jeremy’s work, link to the free PDF of his booklet, and several videos he has made. Jeremy’s work demonstrating teachings of the Latter-day prophets and warning against the dangers of evolution are paramount. Whether it’s recent dinosaur sightings or soft tissue in dinosaur fossils, you won’t want to miss this fun and compelling research.
Vince Newmeyer’s LDS Creation Resources — Vince has been in this fight for a long time and has some excellent video resources and perspectives, which I’ll tell you about in this article.
Supplementary Science Materials:
See also Evolution Outdated (RichardsonStudies.com/Evolution) which is a non-denominational platform where I share my writings on the science against evolution, and share the best resources I’ve found on the same. I’ll mention and link to a few resources from that site:
In the Beginning textbook by Walt Brown. At this link I describe this resource and link to the free PDF and paperback. This is a non-denominational creation science textbook exposing evolution and old Earth as frauds, and demonstrating the fact of the worldwide flood of Noah.
“Science and Religion: Reconciling the Conflicts” by David Barker. At the above link I tell about the book and provide links to the free PDF and paperback. This non-denominational book by a latter-day saint researcher does a good job showing that the science which doesn’t match the Bible is actually not good science, such as the flawed dating methods.
