Res Ipsa Loquitur
jonny said:The LDS church embraces science for the most part. Some of its members don't, but we are allowed to reason and have our own opinions. You might be interested in this paper written by a pretty famous Mormon scholar. I used to be very anti-evolution. Now I'm in the category of "i don't know" and "it really doesn't matter."
Excellent article. I had never read that before.
I liked how he ended it:
"That gap between the record keeper and all the other creatures we know anything about is so unimaginably enormous and yet so neat and abrupt that we can only be dealing with another sort of being, a quantum leap from one world to another. Here is something not derivative from anything that has gone before on the local scene, even though they all share the same atoms."
He said he didn't want to insert his own opinion too much but I think it came through in the end.
I agree with him. I do not think Adam came from a lower ordered species.
Microevolution - obvious
Macroevolution - show me the evidence.
