Restoring Creation:
The Battle Against Evolution Theory in the Restored Church
RichardsonStudies.com/Creation

About
The restored Church of Jesus Christ (of Latter-day Saints) 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 Not only is human evolution scientifically impossible (as particularly evidenced at my page ‘Evolution Outdated‘, a collection of non-denominational and scientific facts against evolution), it is theologically the opposite of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and has no place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)
