Adam and Eve Saved the Environment

[Chas]

The Bible is flawed, plain and simple. This is why most Christians have a hard time reconciling the teachings and stories within it, and instead they focus on a few snippets here and there to cling to as their core doctrines. Cherry picking is bad, no matter how you look at it.

Science has revealed much, and because of that I take Evolution at face value, especially considering the extensive fossil record. I may not understand how it relates to the Genesis creation story entirely, but I do know that there are two instances in the book where God creates man. Since days in heaven are long periods of time on earth, it's possible that his creation of man started with the original spark of life, letting them evolve from lesser biological forms to what they later became. The order of creations in Genesis is also nonsensical, but that's understandable as this is a very old book that requires much interpretation when not understood by modern revelation.

As for the creation of Adam and Eve, this was an instantaneous thing. God created Adam from the dust of the Earth, and Eve was created from his Rib. Their creation was special since Adam was also the embodiment of Michael the Archangel, sent to Earth to be the first Patriarch and Prophet, and this is why they were separate from other creations.

Some of my understanding may be off from what actually happened, but I believe it will be possible to learn the truth of all things one day, if not in this life.

You certainly won't get the truth from The Book of Mormon. That silly-assed 'history' is disproven. It's a non-starter.

It'll be interesting to give my opinions! By the way, I'm glad you got away from the Baptists; they're a worse cult than us Mormons!

No, only the Scientologists are worse than the Mormons. Or sillier, at any rate.
