Restoring Creation
The Battle Against Evolution Theory in the Restored Church
About
The restored Church of Jesus Christ has a several hundred year history of standing against evolution, but today some popular voices in the church call for a secularization of the church, including an acceptance of evolution as an explanation for the origin of man. Not only is human evolution scientifically impossible (as particularly evidenced at my page ‘Evolution Outdated‘, a collection of non-denominational and scientific facts against evolution), it is theologically the opposite of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and has no place among the saints.
Introductory Quote by Joseph Smith on the importance of creation doctrine: “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
Book of Mormon Warnings Against Modern Science Deceptions: 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)

Here are a few featured articles, currently at another site I built, which I’m in the process of transferring over to this site: 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! 8 Issues with the Church History: Organic Evolution web page. Here I expose hidden agendas of those writing this article which are plain to see when you compare their claims with First Presidency statements, and full quotes they reference. 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. Who Needs Evolution When You’ve Got the Restoration? A Book Compilation by Nate Richardson. Here, I’ll show you the abbreviated book contents, provide the free PDF, and link to the 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.
