The Saints Don’t Have to Accept Evolution!

Are you aware that BYU promotes evolution from monkey to man and that its professors set aside teachings of the prophets and scriptures on human origins as mere allegories, embracing evolution as a fact to which religious teachings must conform?

In this abbreviated volume of Nate’s work on science and religion, he addresses numerous claims made in the 2023 book “Let’s Talk About Science & Religion” and specifically refutes them. This primer will help anyone who is confused about claims made by evolutionists in the church. The theme of Jamie L. Jensen and Seth M. Bybee’s book, published at Deseret Book Co. in 2023, is that we need to accept the fact of evolution and adjust our religious beliefs accordingly. The back cover fold reveals that “[Jamie] is also a member of the Broader Social Impacts Committee for the Human Origins Initiative at the Smithsonian, joining other religious scientists to help the American public feel more comfortable with evolution.” My book is not an attack on the authors of the Let’s Talk book but a rebuttal of the theory of evolution, particularly in the context of the restored gospel. The Let’s Talk book serves as a helpful guide showcasing many popular arguments advocated by Christian (and Latter-day Saint) evolutionists in particular, so I will refer to it regularly throughout this book.

Everyone is capable of detecting truth from error, even the weak. In fact, it is usually by the weak that God does His work. I believe the honest reader will find that this book to be full of well thought out and well researched material, despite the occasional error.

We will challenge many sacred cows of evolutionary science, such as vestigial organs, embryonic similarities, homologous structures, a common ancestor, the missing link, Hominids, Radiometric dating, the Old Earth theory, DNA, the Geological column, Fossils, and have a jolly good time doing so.

Nate is a church member, science teacher, and BYU graduate who discusses these controversial issues in an easy-to-read format.

The longer edition of this work titled Inspired Science & Religion: The Battle Against Evolution in the Restored Church Vol. 1 Science & Vol. 2 Religion.The longer edition includes more science, more full text scriptures, more quotes of the prophets, and more memes. In this edition the appendixes have been removed. The science volume appendix highlighting many brilliant creation science writers has been removed. The religion volume quoting many scriptures on the creation has been removed. Many scriptures that appeared in full text have only been referenced to in this edition.

Russell M. Nelson even urged us to help those who are stuck on the theory of natural selection, the engine of evolution. He said, “It is incumbent upon each informed and spiritually attuned person to help overcome such foolishness of those who would deny divine creation or think that mankind simply evolved. By the spirit, we perceive the truer and more believable wisdom of god.” (p10, The Power Within Us, or The Magnificence of Man, March 29, 1987, BYU Devotional https://speeches.byu.edu/talks/russell-m-nelson/magnificence-man/)
