Juvenile Instructor, v. 46, No. 4, April 1911, pp. 208-209; “There are speculations which touch the origin of life and the relationship of God to his children. In a very limited degree that relationship has been defined by revelation, and until we receive more light upon the subject we deem it best to refrain from the discussion of certain philosophical [not scientific] theories…. Some of our teachers are anxious to explain how much of the theory of evolution… is true, and what is false, but that only leaves their students in an unsettled frame of mind. They are not old enough and learned enough to discriminate, or put proper limitations upon a theory which we believe is more or less a fallacy. In reaching the conclusion that evolution would be best left out of discussions in our Church schools we are deciding a question of propriety and are not undertaking to say how much of evolution is true, or how much is false…. The Church itself has no philosophy about the modus operandi employed by the Lord in His creation of the world, and much of the talk therefore about the philosophy of Mormonism is altogether misleading.” – Joseph F. Smith
Genesis 1:1; “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.”
Since they won’t discuss the origin of life, I will.
It’s really quite simple, if you will. God created the heaven and the earth. And by the way, He created everything in six days. – Genesis 1:31 –
“And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.”
There’s no such thing as evolution, no such thing as cosmic regeneration, nor is there any such thing as ‘all material is eternal’. Those theories are just that. They’re theories promulgated by ungodly men who try to replace God the Creator, with man who is created. Romans 1:20-25.
If you believe in the Lord and ascribe to His word, why wouldn’t you want to declare it from the rooftops?
