GOD DID NOT USE EVOLUTION TO CREATE HUMANITY 11/03/2008
![]() Here we go again with more monkey business regarding evolution. Another article presenting arguments in defense of evolution has appeared on a pro-evolution LDS blog (here). Only this time the article is by a high octane researcher from Berkeley. They have pulled out the big guns with this article. The article defends the science behind evolution using both recent scientific discoveries and comments from prominent Latter-day Saints. CommentsMatt W.

Fri, 07 Nov 2008 2:57:50 pm I should know better than to get drug down into these sorts of discussion. But I probably should at minimum explain what evolution believers mean by God using evolution.

He writes: I say most emphatically, you cannot believe in this theory (evolution) of the origin of man, and at the same time accept the plan of salvation as set forth by the Lord our God...then Adam, and by that I mean the first man, was not capable of sin. He could not transgress, and by doing so bring death into the world; for, according to this theory (evolution) death had always been in the world. If, therefore, there was no fall, there was no need of an atonement, hence the coming into the world of the Son of God as the Savior of the world is a contradition, a thing impossible.
