However, “evolution does not negate by one iota the idea of a purposeful universe that was organized by a loving, intelligent God.” The post Conference Talks: Why Evolution and LDS Thought are Fully Compatible first appeared on The Interpreter Foundation.

In the long run, the truth is its own most powerful advocate.” The post Conference Talks: Science and Genesis: A Personal View first appeared on The Interpreter Foundation.
